 What we can provide
Due to our long experience and our caring approach we offer a fully
rounded and holistic approach to legal matters, writes Jackie Campion,
who has over 25 years’ experience.
If I use Doris* as an example who is a lovely elderly lady we have recently helped.
Doris came to us with her daughter some time ago , she was quite lost and anxious . Her
husband sadly lives with dementia and was still at the family home in a semi remote part of
The Wirral in a large house. It was clear that Doris needed help. We listened and gave advice
about Wills (already in place) putting a Lasting Power of Attorney in place for Doris and
possibly Court of Protection application for her husband.
However at the stage the immediate issues were really more practical and not even legal
and Doris was a little overwhelmed . We gave details of local care homes, who to contact
and a local dementia charity for support . The family then went away to deal with the really
emotional part of arranging a place for the husband to live as he clearly needed full time care.
We kept in touch.
When the situation was a little more settled we have since dealt with the LPAs, applied to the
Court of Protection for the husband and will shortly assist Doris and the family in selling her
home to move to a property more suitable for her needs and not as remote.
Along the way we have firmly established a strong relationship with Doris and
her daughter.
We have recommended social events supported by a local charity and now
that Doris is more settled and knows she has done the best thing for herself
and her husband she is much more relaxed and we all love to see her when
she pops in.
We really do offer a full wrap around service and we go the extra mile,
because we genuinely care and we like to help. Plus we are experts.
* ‘Doris’ is not her real name

 Concern about development in the Lower Village
PLANS for new developments in Lower Heswall have been blasted by a local preservation
group.
The Heswall Society has written to Wirral Council to raise concerns about six planning
applications which have come up recently in the Farr Hall Drive area of the Lower Village.
Some have already been refused, others are pending – but the society hopes to draw
attention to the ‘inappropriate redevelopment’ of this area.
Some of the schemes have included a new bungalow, a two storey extension, a new build
home, and three new buildings with over 20 apartments.
In the letter the society’s planning officer Dennis Clegg says: “We are currently especially
concerned about the despoliation by inappropriate redevelopment of a discrete character
area of 1920s Arts and Crafts houses.
“On the corner of Farr Hall Road and Farr Hall Drive is Allandale, an early family residence
designed by Herbert James Rowse before he went on to undertake his celebrated and listed
work in Liverpool. On the opposite corner, a traditional villa has recently been replaced by
an incongruous modern development which, in our view, is lacking in merit. With one or
two exceptions, the rest of the properties on the two limbs of Farr Hall Drive retain their
original villa form from the 1920s and unusual layout, bringing an exceptional and distinctive
character to this closely defined area.
“In our view this area is an important heritage asset which should be considered for inclusion
in the Lower Village Conservation Area and which, in the meantime, should have its heritage
value taken into the balance in determining any planning application.”

Have Yourself…....
a crisis-free Christmas
One Christmas our whole family came down
with flu; in other years our dog died, the oven
exploded, and we had a power cut, although
thankfully not all on the same day!
Most Christmases are wonderful but sometimes
life gets in the way. With a smidgeon of
forethought though, you can make all the
difference.
First among potential disasters are digestive
ones. A plate of salmonella is definitely not top
of most people’s Christmas list! Invest in special
thermometers for ovens and fridges and check
they’re running at the right temperature.
Less serious but still unpleasant are tummy
upsets caused by over-indulgence of rich food
and alcohol. Keep a supply of antacids and
rehydration salts in your first aid box. Also stock
up on plasters and anti-burn spray because
preparing sprouts and getting the turkey in and
out of the oven can be surprisingly dangerous
tasks, especially after a cocktail or two!
Then there are the unavoidable hitches such as
illness which, let’s face it, can strike any time,
even at Christmas. High temperatures and sore
throats are no fun at all. Make sure you have
ibuprofen and paracetamol to hand, both the
junior and adult versions.
Make two lists of emergency numbers. Include
NHS Direct, an emergency dentist, your gas and
electricity suppliers, an emergency plumber,
electrician, vet and a locksmith. A garage and
taxi service are useful too. Keep one list at home
in an easy-to-find place and the other about your
person.
20 To advertise call 01244 350398 www.heswall.com
FEATURE
Don’t forget to buy candles, matches, a flashlight
and some batteries just in case of a power cut.
Burglaries increase around Christmas because
thieves know there are rich pickings to be had so
check your security. Also check your household
insurance is valid and that you have enough
cover.
Did you know that a third of parents forget
to buy batteries for Christmas toys? Avoid
disappointment on the day. Run through a
check list before you leave the shop: do you need
batteries, a battery charger, memory cards, a scart
lead or an extra console controller?
It’s easy to throw the instructions out with the
packaging and wrapping paper so take care, and
furthermore, if you think there is something
wrong with the gift DO NOT take it to pieces. You
will invalidate your warranty!
You can’t prevent all crises. Prepare by all means
but try to keep a sense of perspective and humour
and hopefully you’ll have a happy Christmas no
matter what life throws at you! The year we all
had flu we simply postponed Christmas and had
the full works a few days later instead when we all
felt much better.

Stanley is three years old and very friendly. Unfortunately Stanley has the FIV

Stanley thinks it is especially so he can sit on her lap. Stanley is the perfect

 Natty knitters make hundreds of hats
The ladies of the Inner Wheel Club of Heswall have had a busy year –
particularly producing hats and jumpers for needy babies.
They have been kitting for ‘fish and chip babies’ in Africa. These babies have
this name because there is nothing but paper to wrap them in when they are
born. The challenge was 100 hats and jumpers.
The customers of the Beacon Cafe took up the
challenge and between them over 700 hats and jumpers
were made and sent off to Africa.
The club’s next project is a Christmas Market at Heswall
Methodist Church Hall on Saturday 30th November from 10am to
2pm. All profits from this event will be donated to Izzy’s Fund.
Izzy is a little girl of six who lives locally and has a rare genetic condition called congenital
hypermyelinating neuropathy that very little is known about and is untreatable. Her parents
are trying to raise funds to create an accessible, safe and therapeutic home and garden
to enhance Izzy’s quality of life. Inner Wheel members are inviting all members of our
community to support this event to help Izzy’s family achieve their target.
The Inner Wheel Club of Heswall is part of a national organisation for ladies formed to
promote true friendship, encourage the ideals of personal service and foster international
understanding. The Heswall Club is very active and thriving and through its activities and
fundraising has for many years raised a tremendous amount of money for local, national
and international charities.

Mini Panettone
RECIPE

Little festive treats

Preparation time: 45 minutes (allow 4-5 hours for proving time)
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Makes: 6

Ingredients
250g good quality plain flour
1 tsp dried yeast
Pinch of salt
100ml whole milk, warmed
(not hot)
3 eggs (Two beaten together,
1 extra)
1 tsp vanilla extract
50g golden caster sugar, plus
extra for dusting
100g softened butter
Zest and juice of one orange
100g raisins
100g sultanas
100g mixed peel (for non-
peel-lovers you can substitute
cranberries)

Method
Soak the fruit overnight in the orange juice.
Mix the flour and salt, the yeast and the milk in a mixer with a dough hook. You can do it by
hand, it just takes longer. Gradually mix in two beaten eggs and the vanilla. Knead until the
dough is smooth and springy. Leave in a bowl, covered with a damp cloth and allow to rise until
doubled in size.
Add the sugar, butter and the yolk from the remaining egg. Mix again, either with the machine,
or by hand, until the dough is smooth again. Add the fruit and zest and knead quickly until it’s
all incorporated into the dough. Leave in a bowl, covered with a damp cloth, in a cool place for at
least two hours until doubled in size again. You can leave it in the fridge overnight if you prefer.
Line a large, six-holed muffin tray with paper cases. Divide the dough into six portions and roll
into balls. Place one ball into each muffin case, cover with a damp cloth and leave for 20 minutes.
Heat the oven to 180C / 160 fan or Gas mark 4. Brush the tops of the panettones with the
remaining egg whites and dust with caster sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the muffins have
risen and are golden in colour. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
Variation - Add some brandy to the overnight soak in orange juice for a little extra kick.

The Holly and the Ivy
The holly and the ivy,
when they are both full grown,
GARDEN VIEW
of all the trees that are in the wood
the holly bears the crown.
There’s no doubt that holly and ivy are synonymous with
Christmas.
This dates back to pre-Christian era when pagans used evergreen
decorations in their mid-winter celebrations. It’s not hard to see why they
were attracted to these beautiful plants which offer a promise of better times
to come during the most barren time of the year.
Early Christians adopted them too and imbued holly particularly with
Christian symbolism. In the carol, ivy isn’t actually mentioned again until
the last verse which is a repeat of the first. It has a cameo role because of
earlier songs, such as ‘The Contest of The Ivy and The Holly,’ in which the
attributes of holly (male) and ivy (female) are compared. Our ancestors
lived close to the earth and the seasons and were open to symbolism. As
modern gardeners we might be sceptical of the symbolism, but we can
embrace the glory of these seasonal plants.
Ivy (Hedera) comes in many sizes, from the tiny-leaved ‘Spetchley’ to
the hand-sized leaves of ‘Maple Leaf’. It also comes in a beautiful variety
of colours from the rich green, crimped leaves of ‘Parsley crested’ which
makes great ground cover, to the gorgeous red-stemmed yellow leaves of the
climber ‘Sunrise’.
For winter baskets I’d recommend the lime-green ‘Ursula’ and her grey-leaved
friend ‘Frederick’.
Ivy is a doddle to grow. There are only a few things to remember. Cut it back in
spring to encourage new growth and take cuttings between October and March
when the growth is woody. Yellow varieties need sunshine and don’t let any of it
grow into your eaves. Other than that, it is your undemanding gardening friend.
Holly (Ilex) is pretty easy-going too. It will grow almost anywhere except really
water-logged soil. It’s tolerant of pollution, salt and wind and grows really
slowly, so it’s great for small gardens in the city and by the sea.
Protect it from rabbits if they frequent your garden as they love to eat the bark.
Trim it in August if you have to and remove plain green shoots on variegated
varieties. Take cuttings in the late summer or autumn. It does resent root
disturbance once it’s established so make sure you plant it in the right place first
time.
Hollies are male or female but not necessarily named to help you distinguish.
‘Silver Queen’ is actually male and ‘Martin’ is female! You’ll need both for berries
so talk to an expert at the nursery or garden centre to be sure…or google the
answer on your phone! If you only have room for one holly bush, grow a self-
fertile variety such as ‘J C Van Tol’.

Merry Christmas and Happy Gardening!

The Introvert’s Guide to
the Office Christmas Party
Office Christmas parties are queer affairs where we drink and socialise with folk we might
not choose to drink and socialise with on any other night of the year. At best they offer a
bit of cringeworthy fun, at worst they strike fear into our hearts. Introverts in particular
struggle with enforced bonhomie at large events.
For those of us who aren’t social butterflies, what are our
options? Do we have to endure the occasion, or might it be
possible to enjoy it?
Dutch courage may seem like the only way to get
through the evening but tanking up on alcohol will
almost certainly make things worse. Although it’s
a party in name, remember this is a work-related
event so limit your alcohol intake to ensure you
remain in control of your faculties, especially if
under the influence you feel you might be tempted
to give vent to your feelings of frustration at being
passed over for promotion! A good rule of thumb
is no more than two alcoholic drinks at any work
function...even a festive one.
It is estimated that at least 25% of the population
are introverts so at least a quarter of your co-workers
probably feel like you do about the party. Look for
people standing on the edge, fidgeting with their
glass and looking awkward. These are your people so
take a deep breath and strike up a conversation with
them. Concentrate on effective eye contact when you
introduce yourself. Get into the habit of noticing the
other person’s eye colour. Don’t worry about remembering
it or commenting on it, just notice it. This helps to create an
instant non-verbal connection and build rapport. It makes you
seem confident, trustworthy and likeable.
Have a few safe conversation topics in your armoury: good
ones are the weather, movies, restaurants, books (you
can either find common ground or ask for and offer
recommendations), and light news topics (steer clear
of Brexit though, and anything to do with the election).
Also avoid work talk, that’s not the point of the event.
If you’re stuck in a conversation with someone you
find offensive, dull or with whom you have nothing in
common it can be hard to keep a conversation going. A
polite ‘So nice to chat with you, catch you later...’ should be
an adequate sign-off as you make your leave. The point of a party
is to mingle so this won’t seem unfriendly.
Remember - even if you would rather undergo root canal surgery
than attend the office party it’s worth showing your face. Go along,
have a drink and a mince pie then make a polite-but-early exit if you
really can’t cope. People won’t generally mind or even remember that
you left early but they might question why you didn’t show up at all.

Remembering Allan at h
There will be extra poignancy for a local family at the Light up a Life event at
Wirral Hospice St John’s.
Light up a Life has been raising much needed funds for the hospice ever since the first
service in 1996. It’s a really special time of year which brings together our Wirral community
to remember their loved ones. This year the hospice gardens will be lit with 10,000 beautiful
lights on Sunday 8th December.
The lights will be switched on by Tracie Powell in memory of her husband Allan, Tracie will
switch the lights on with her daughter, Kerry, and grandchildren, Morgan, 17, and Jeyda, 10.
Allan had been feeling ill for a while before he was taken to hospital in February 2017 after
collapsing with what turned out to be a perforated bowel. A little time later the family were
given the shattering news that Allan had bowel cancer and it had progressed to stage 4.
In July 2018 Allan was admitted onto the Inpatient Unit again. He received the specialist care
and support which would give Tracie, Kerry and the grandchildren some peace of mind and
precious time together. They enjoyed picnics in the sunshine in the Hospice garden and
talked about family holidays. Their Yorkshire terrier, Alfie, visited the Hospice too and enjoyed
a cuddle from Allan. Sadly, Allan died on 29th July, 2018 and is dearly missed by his loving
family.
Tracie has received bereavement support from the Hospice and has made new friends
through the bereavement group. She has also joined the hospice as a volunteer.
On being approached to switch on the lights Tracie was delighted to accept, she said: “The
hospice was magnificent with and for Allan. The help I have personally received since has
been wonderful. We all feel honoured to be able to switch on the lights, as we know it means
so much for many families living in, and with family ties to, Wirral. Allan, the family and I had
supported Light up a Life previously, remembering other loved ones and now we can play a
part, in memory of Allan, to help people with their own special memories”
The service will be held in the hospice gardens on Sunday 8th December at 5.30pm. The
carol service is free to attend and all are welcome to come along to remember their loved
ones. For each light that is sponsored a loved one’s name is included in the hospice books
of honour and people receive a Light up a Life card in their memory. The books are on
display in the hospice from 4pm on 8th December and will remain on display throughout the
Christmas period.
For a suggested minimum donation of £5 per light you can sponsor a Light in memory of a
loved one. Light up a Life keepsake tree decorations are also available for a donation from
£5.00 (including postage). To donate to the campaign please call 0151 343 0778 or visit
www.wirralhospice.org/light-up-a-life to make a donation online.
