Old Fashioned Values Pay
Dividends For Cloudy2Clear
It’s been a crazy
few months for
Cloudy2Clear
Windows. The
company which
specialises in repairing
windows which are
steamed up, broken or
damaged by replacing
the panes – not the
frames has grown
rapidly as homeowners
take advantage of their
services.
Managing Director
Ken McIntosh feels
that his approach is the
key. “Our product is
simple. If your double
glazing is misted up we
can replace the glass at
a fraction of the cost of
a new window, in any
type of frame, and with
a new 5 year guarantee.
But it’s not just about
saving people money,
although that obviously
helps. Some people may
call the way I do things
a little old-fashioned
but it’s amazing how a
simple mix of manners,
punctuality and personal
service increases
your business. I’m
constantly taken aback
by customers who are
shocked that we turn up
when we say we will, do
the job that is required
and clean up after
ourselves. I’m afraid it
indicates to me that there
are many companies
who don’t and that’s just
not fair to the customer.”
a major factor in his
success. “When I started
out I just did the things
that came naturally to
me. I really hate being
let down by tradesmen
so I was determined not
to let that happen to my
customers. As it turns
out that little bit of extra
care has meant I get
friends and family
of people I have done
work for on the phone
constantly so it’s not just
personally satisfying but
good for business too.
At the end of the day
it’s not rocket science,
is it?”
So, if your windows
are steamed up, broken
or damaged give Ken a

he’ll be happy to help!

Travel - Madagascar
Madagascar is one of the most unique and iconic
places on earth, and having separated from the
Africa mainland 165 million years ago, it has
evolved into an astonishing mix of fascinating
wildlife, amazingly varied landscapes and gorgeous
sandy beaches.
Home to over 90 species of Lemur, the world’s
largest and smallest chameleons, geckos, frogs,
snakes, humpback whales, dolphins, turtles, superb
marine life, over 100 types of birds found nowhere
else on the planet, and much more!
You will have the
chance to explore
tropical rainforest,
arid spiny forests,
vast ‘fields’ of razor
-sharp
limestone
p i n n a c l e s ,
mangrove swamps,
massive baobab trees, caves and beautiful islands
and beaches.... Madagascar has something to suit
everyone, from wildlife enthusiasts, honeymooners,
families, solo travellers, beach lovers and hikers.
The best time to visit is May to November, with
to
mid-De ce mber
mid March best avoided

year, so please ask us
for further advice.
Madagascar has some exceptional hotels and
lodges both in nature reserves and on the beach.
There are a wide range of styles including upmarket

Barnardo’s Warwickshire
Supported Lodgings
Do you have a spare room?
• Could you relate to young people aged
16+?
• Could you help with budgeting,
cooking and other independence skills?
Are you over 24 years of age and willing to
open up your home and heart to some of
Warwickshire’s most vulnerable young people?
If so, we want to hear from you.
Many young people who have been in care or
forced to leave home due to family problems
often find themselves struggling to cope alone
as they lack the confidence and basic skills to
live independently.
There is also a shortage of adequate
accommodation for young people leaving care,
which means there is a risk that some may find
themselves in unsuitable accommodation.
Barnardo’s has an opportunity for you to
become an approved Supported Lodgings
Provider. Warwickshire Supported Lodgings
service works in partnership with Warwickshire
County Council, to provide accommodation to
young people leaving care.
You could receive a paid allowance of
approximately £140 per week/£560 per month
to offer a young person aged between 16 and
25 a spare room in your home and support
them to live independently.

Animal Matters
Podgy Pets
Vets are seeing a steady rise in the number of
overweight animals which can create long term
health problems such as diabetes, arthritis and
high blood pressure. Overweight pets also have
difficulty grooming themselves effectively and
suffer more often with skin conditions and
poor coats.
Overe ating, insufficient exercise and
too many treats are mainly to blame
for the growing problem. A well balanced diet
and plenty of exercise are the key to
maintaining a pet’s healthy weight but many of
us are guilty of overindulging our pets with
human style treats. It is very tempting to treat
our pets with human food forgetting that their
finely tuned
metabolisms are very
different to ours. Giving a slice of buttered toast
or a small plain biscuit to a dog is equivalent to
a human eating a hamburger. A cup of milk for a
cat is equivalent to a human eating four and a
half hamburgers! Even treats designed for pets
can be high in calories and so should be chosen
carefully and fed in moderation.
Many people don’t really know how to tell if
their pet is becoming overweight. A good rule
of thumb is that you should be able to feel the
ribs of your cat or dog easily and when viewed
from above there should be a visible narrowing
at the waist.
Pet weight gain is usually the product of our
habits as owners and so we often need a little
guidance from an objective source to pin point
the problem areas. Veterinary nurses are
trained in pet weight control and can offer
advice on the ideal weight for your pet as well
as planning simple steps to gradually change
your pet’s lifestyle. Nurses at Avonvale run a
regular pet weight management clinic free of
charge. Pets are weighed and measured
regularly and advice is tailored to meet the
progress of each pet to ensure a gradual
weight loss.
Simple changes such as
substituting treats for healthy alternatives or
changing to a metabolically formulated food
can make a huge difference to your pet’s health
and behaviour. Often pets who are having to
take medication for arthritis or heart problems
and even obese rabbits who can suffer from
flystrike, see a considerable improvement in
their condition when they lose weight.
Exercise will burn off excess calories, however
the more overweight an animal becomes the
more discomfort they feel and the less likely
they are to run around. Walking dogs shorter
distances but more frequently can help and
games with a ball
or toy may tempt
both cats and
dogs into activity.
S o m e t i m es
though, exercise
can be physically
uncomfortable for
older, obese pets.
Hydrotherapy
can
offer a solution for this as the water buoyancy
reduces stress in the joints as they exercise.
It’s a great time to find out more about what
your pet’s ideal weight and nutritional needs are.

Mother’s Day Around the World
by Alison Runham
on the last day of Baishak dark fortnight, making
breakfast for their mothers and giving them gifts,
favourite foods and new clothes. Those who have
lost mothers visit Mata Tirtha, a sacred site with a
pool in which they ‘look upon their mother’s face’.
Mothers deserve attention all year round, so
why do we celebrate mothers on one special
day - and do other countries follow suit?
The UK
Traditionally, on ‘Mothering Sunday’ (the fourth
Sunday in Lent) people returned to their baptismal
‘mother church’. As their parents’ home was often
nearby, over time the day became a holiday for
visiting family. Flowers were gathered on the way
home and mums received Simnel cakes. Observance
of Mothering Sunday gradually withered but after its
revival in 1920 it spread throughout the Empire,
becoming known as Mother’s Day.
Around the World
Most countries have a Mother's Day, but origins and
traditions vary. Unless stated otherwise, countries
below follow U.S. tradition, celebrating on the
second Sunday in May.
In France, American soldiers introduced their
Mother’s Day during the First World War. Originally
focussed on fertile mothers, today Fête des Mères
celebrates all mothers, who traditionally receive a
cake shaped like a bouquet of flowers. France
celebrates on the last Sunday in May, as does
Sweden, where the Red Cross sells plastic flowers in
aid of deprived mothers.
The USA didn’t keep English Mother’s Day, but Anna
Jarvis campaigned for one in honour of her mother,
who introduced "Mothers’ Friendship Day" after the
Civil War. At a church service on the second
anniversary of her mother's death (the second
Sunday of May), Anna distributed her mother's
favourite flowers: white carnations. Today they
signify mothers who have passed away, while
coloured carnations honour mothers still living.
In Australia, Mother’s Day grew from Janet
Heyden’s campaign to give gifts to lonely inmates of
Newington State Home for Women. Schoolchildren
in Japan draw pictures of their mothers for a
nationwide competition and winning pictures travel
the country in a mobile exhibition.
Mexico’s Mother’s Day on 10th May was once a
pawn in battles between government and church on
modernisation and materialism. It now celebrates
both mothers and the Virgin Mary. Children often
arrive at their mother’s house the night before.
Traditionally the day starts with mass before mothers
are presented with a breakfast of tamales and atole,
but many mothers are now treated to breakfast at
home, accompanied by a song.
In Paraguay, Mother’s Day is celebrated with Dia de
la Patria (Independence Day) on 15th May, to honour
Juana María de Lara’s role in winning Paraguay’s
independence. Similarly, Bolivia’s Dia de la Madre
Boliviana on 27th May commemorates the women
killed fighting for independence in the Battle of
Coronilla.
In Italy mums receive a heart-shaped cake, but on
the second Sunday before Christmas children in
Yugoslavia tie their mother up until she gives them
treats. Egypt’s Mother’s Day on 21st March is
celebrated with songs devoted to mothers.
In Ethiopia, their ‘Antrosht’ celebration lasts three
days, beginning after the rains have ceased (usually
October/November). Traditionally, mothers cook a
special meal but daughters provide dairy products,
vegetables and spices while sons bring the meat.
Afterwards they enjoy traditional songs and dances.
In Nepal, children return to the family home on
“Aama ko Mukh Herne Din” (“to see Mother’s face”)
So why not celebrate MexicanMexican- style this
year and sing your Mum a song?

Fe Fi Phobia
If there’s one thing guaranteed to get people rattled,
it’s talking about their fears and phobias. While
workshop gurus tell us to ‘face our fears’ and
despite Susan Jeffers writing that we should Feel the
Fear and Do It Anyway, it’s surprising the effects
they can have on us.
Some have official names, while others are still
waiting to be categorised and of course there is the
top trump that is Phobophobia - fear of phobias.
Take a deep breath and see if you recognise any
of these:
Bees (Apiphobia) - they can bring you out
in hives.
Mineral deficiency - It can leave you
feeling out of salts.
Laughter (Geliophobia) - which can often
make you feel funny.
Trendy summer holidays - they can frequently lead

Arrows (Belosophobia) - they can leave you all

Multiple text documents - try aversion therapy.
Camping (Tisantaphobia) - hard to peg down at
first, but will lead to intense emotions.
Examinations - these days there’s a test for it.
Alcohol (Methyphobia) - sometimes this one can
really lower your spirits.
Cooking (Mageirocophobia) - will frequently cause
a stir or a pan-ic.
Dairy products - you may be able to get some
cream for it.
Salted meats - try not to worry because
they’re working on a cure.
Car journeys (Amaxophobia) - if you can
avoid a breakdown you’ll find there is
support out there, but it can be a long road
to recovery.
