Welcome tothe village directory
Hi everyone,
It’s Chocolate time! Just as I’ve managed to knock off a few of the pounds I gained at Christmas, Easter arrives with all the temptation of chocolate. When I was young I was fussy about the fl avours and types I enjoyed but these days, in my more mature years, my taste has broadened to the point where any chocolate is a delight, whether it’s milk or plain, with almost anything in the centre (not Turkish Delight!) I will put my feet up and enjoy a moment or two in that world where the Cadbury’s Flake girl used to stroll (now I’m showing my age!).
Anyway enough of that, there’s far more to Easter than chocolate, it’s the begining of spring and hopefully the weather will refl ect that. It’s time to clear out those cupboards,
spring clean, decorate or, weather permitting, begin to tackle the garden. I’m sure we will all be busy bees in one way or another, whether your focus is on social or domestic activities you’ll fi nd ideas and help within these page. Why not check out some of our new advertisers.
Have a great Easter ~ Debbie

Seasonal DelightsSpiced Rack of Lamb
with Fragrant RiceServes 4 Ready in 1 hour
Perfect for a spring Sunday
lunch or stylish supper this
quick and easy lamb dish is
full of fl avor. Choose a couple
of meaty racks of lamb from
a good butcher and score the
layers of fat before spreading
with the harissa paste. Serve
with a cooling garlic and mint
yoghurt sauce.
Ingredients:• 1 tbsp harissa paste (see Tip)• 2 trimmed racks of lamb, each
with 6 bones• • 2 red onions, peeled and cut into
slim wedges• 50g butter• • 225g basmati rice, rinsed and
drained• 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed• 750ml vegetable stock• Generous pinch saff ron strands• 50g sultanas• 40g fl aked almonds, lightly
toasted• 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
Tip:Harissa paste is a fi ery hot North African blend of red chilli peppers and spices – just a little goes a long way so use sparingly. You’ll fi nd it in small jars near the dried herb and spice sections in most large supermarkets.
Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F, Gas 6. Spread the harissa paste over the lamb racks. Place the racks in an oiled roasting tin and add the onion wedges.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes depending on how pink you like your lamb. Remove from the oven. Cover with foil and leave to rest for 10 minutes – the lamb will be juicier and easier to carve.
Meanwhile, heat the butter in a heavy-based pan until melted and foaming. Add the rice and garlic. Fry gently for 1-2 minutes, stirring until the rice is translucent. Pour in the stock. Add the saff ron and bring to the boil, stirring.
Cover the pan with a tight fi tting lid. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cook for 15-20 minutes without removing the lid until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat. Fork through to separate the grains. Add the sultanas, fl aked almonds and pomegranate seeds.
Carve the lamb racks into individual cutlets and serve immediately with the fragrant rice and roast onion wedges.
We offer a choice of 250 tasty dishes, including desserts and mini meals. All meals are delivered frozen, ready to be stored in your freezer and cooked in minutes. What could be easier?

Buying a property with someone else? Make sure you protect your interests!
In the latest in our regular series of articles regarding legal matters, Katrina Kemp, Trainee Solicitor at Pengelly & Rylands, gives some advice on buying a property with another party.
If you are looking to buy a property jointly with someone else, you can hold the ownership as either “Joint Tenants” or “Tenants in Common”.
Joint tenants both own the whole of a property and are entitled to an equal and undivided share in it. On the death of one of the joint owners, the property passes automatically to the survivor, whatever the Will of the deceased party might say. This method is most commonly used by married couples (however, in the event of divorce and a sale of the property, the presumption that the proceeds should be shared equally between the parties may be overturned by the court). Joint tenancy can be changed to tenants in common if your situation changes. This is called “severing the joint tenancy”.
Tenants in common have an undivided share in the property. That share could be equal or unequal. Tenants in common is most suited if you are putting unequal amounts of money into the property and you want this to be refl ected in your shares of ownership. The following few examples may refl ect your situation:
1. If you are contributing towards your off spring’s fi rst home you may want to hold a share in the property as tenants in common. Your solicitor could prepare a trust deed to refl ect the share you have contributed, how and when you will be repaid and who will be responsible for the property. When the property is sold you will be entitled to the share of the sale proceeds as stated in the trust deed.
2. When buying a house with your partner it is best to discuss how you want to hold the ownership of the property. It may be unromantic but it can prevent any legal battles in the future. Where partners are not married it is more common to hold as tenants in common and to have a trust deed. If you have contributed in unequal shares it is important a trust deed is drafted stating what shares are agreed.
Katrina Kemp, Trainee Solicitor
3. If you want to invest in a property for business or with family you might consider holding the property as tenants in common. A trust deed should refl ect the respective shares and mention how the property will be maintained and/or mortgage payments are to be met.
On the death of a tenant in common, the share of the deceased joint owner will not pass automatically to the survivor, but in accordance with the terms of their Will or under the rules of intestacy rules. It is therefore imperative your Will is kept up-to-date.
If you would like us to act in your sale or purchase, draft a trust deed, change your ownership from joint tenants to tenants in common (or vice versa), update your Will or off er further legal advice please call us on 01580 762248.

For Sale2004 Vauxhall Signum 2.2
Direct Auto.Bargain at £1795 ono.
Large boot, lots of leg room, the rear seats fold fl at for larger items. Half leather interior, Aircon, CD player, electric windows, Cruise Control, Privacy
Glass, etc etc.
89k on the clock but had a replacement engine so the current engine has only done around 50k. In the last few weeks fi tted a new Catalytic Converter and new front disks and pads. There are no lights on the dash, it starts and stops perfectly and the gearbox is all working correctly, tires are all good as well.
The only niggle is a bit of wear on the drivers seat bolster which I have covered with tape to stop it getting any worse, other than that it is in good condition. This is a practical and comfortable car and as you can see from the pictures the body work is in good condition with just a couple of minor age related marks here and there.
