What the world really needs is more love and less paper work. ~Pearl Bailey
If yuv y mss u n yu Nw Ys sutins, nt nic! Th issti tim! Chins Nw Y snt stt ti th 4th fuy!!
As someone whose birthday is at the start of January I never manage to honour my New Yearresolutions and am hugely relieved to have a new chance in February!
Now there are many people who challenge the value of New Year Resolutions. They tend tobe the same people who declare a long list of wishful thinking and then become disillusionedwhen they resort back to the same old same old. New Year Resolutions are a good thing.They act as a declaration that you wish to change something about your life and in myexperience the rst step to change is in the declaration.
So do take the opportunity now to look at your life. What is working? What would you like towork better?
Personally, like lots of people I want to lose weight. Like lots of people I know how to loseweight. Its easy Eat less than I consume in calories. If the rst step is the Declaration , allthe following steps are those moments during the day when you have a choice.
If you want to earn more money this year , start with a declaration of how much money youwant to earn. Then start looking each day for the ways that you could offer more value at work(smile more, contribute more, ask for more) and seize any opportunities that come your way.The secret to becoming rich is easy . You need to save. Whatever your job , if you start saving,you can then start investing and soon you will have your money working for you rather thanthe other way round.
If you want to change your life in 2011, you can. You just need to change your daily habits.The trouble is that most of us are living unconsciously. Employing a lifecoach , personaltrainer or other expert to support you in your goals is essential. Its almost impossible to
choose the tools to get you out of your comort zone whilst youre in your comfort zone . So ifyou have New Year Resolutions for this year, take the next step.; commit to them, take actionand employ someone to support you. Why? Because youre worth it.

are hoping that by their next volunteer day (12th
February) the weather will improve an funing for the
planne willife pon will be sufcient for work to begin
along side this very popular shared pathway.The idea of providing a dog splash further along the
pathway will delight dog owners as much as it will their
dogs. It is expected that dogs will be encouraged to use
the dog splash not the wildlife pond. A peaceful pond
and bog area existence for amphibians would improve
biodiversity.

onations such as the heavy-uty pon liner - kinly
onate by CETCO, bulbs - onate by Grosvenor

is hoped further donations will raise funds to stock the

Start to tidy up by cuttingback dead foliageon perennials andgrasses to allow newgrowth to comethrough. Prunefruit trees andwisteria. OlderWisteria plants
can be pruned toremove old stemsand long whippygrowth back to a fewbuds. Prune back toplump buds on newer growthand cut out some congested olderbranches each year to leave youngerstems to grow on.
The rst bulbs such as snowdrops and crocuses
will start to show but may ower later this yearafter the hard winter. Hellebore plants will
be owering. If you do not have these in your
garden they are well worth trying asthey can stand some full sun andshade with the bonus of large
owers in the depths ofwinter.
There are someclematis that owerin late winter so tryClematis cirrhosawith small bell like
owers or Clematisarmandii AppleBlossom with larger
pink owers. Bothare scented and have
evergreen foliage. Bestplanted on a south or
west facing wall, fence ortrellis.
The vegetable garden can bestarted with buying some
seed potatoes selectingan early variety such
as Arran Pilot orPentland Javelin.Start them offby chitting in alight, frost-freedry area so thatthey develop
short shoots priorto planting out in
mid spring. Plantingtomato seeds in pots on a
windowsill later in Februarywill give you a head start for
planting out when frosts are past.
Mulch all fruit trees, bushes and cane fruit witha generous layer of well rotted manure aroundthe roots and apply a general purpose fertilizerto set the plants up for the coming season.

8/7/2019 Hoole Roundabout Feb 2011
24/32
RECENTLYI was sitting in a trafc queue recently on Hoole Bridge, we weremoving very slowly, when the sound of a siren echoed out over the cars.
Instinctively people responded by moving the cars to one side or anothergiving the room needed for the ambulance to get through and travel on to theemergency it was attending. I thought to myself isnt it great how peoplework together in a moment when they perceive an emergency need.Looking across at the burnt out shell of the Enterprise Centre I beganto think about the same response right across our city and country aspeople have instinctively responded and worked together to providehelp and support for the countries and communitys devastated by thedifferent disasters across the world in 2010.
In my work as a leader of a Christian faith community I come acrossmany situations where there is no evidence of people working together,where people are alone with no sense of community. It sometime seemsthat most people are just looking out for number one, that is themselvesand they have no time for others. In the geographical neighbourhoodsaround Chester communities are working hard to make where they livea better place to live. But this goal will only ever be achieved when wework together, churches around this city are working hard to serve the communities they are in but moreoften than not they work in isolation from others. Across Chester there are many partnerships; different
organisations from the public sector, the private sector, and the community/ voluntary sector, the faithcommunities of Chester need to be a part of these partnerships so that we can be a contributing factor inworking together and seeking the goal of bring hope and making a difference for good.
Ive been reecting this past week on the word hope. What is the source of our hope? Whats thedifference between a wish and a hope? Why is hope so important? What do you hope for in 2011? For theChristian, hope is an integral part of ones faith and I would argue hope is also crucial to those who havelittle or no faith. Maybe the events of this past year can inspire us all to come together, those with faithin God, those with no faith to work together for the good of the whole and to bring hope. In some wayswe cant afford to wait until there is an emergency; today is a good time to start, together we can make adifference and be people of hope.
One practical thing that we at Hoole Baptist Church are going to do, that we anticipate could bring hopeto some within our community, is to run the CAP Money Course. With the recession showing no sign ofabating, we will be offering local residents in Hoole the chance to get their nances back on track with afree money management course. This will teach people budgeting skills and a simple, cash-based moneymanagement system that really works. This course has universal appeal and is a three-session course,featuring weekly DVD presentations and trained volunteers from the church who will then work throughindividual budgets with delegates. The frst session will be on Wednesday 9th February.
For more information ring the church ofce on 312037 or email [email protected]
