Welcome to the
March edition of
‘The Hampton
Viewer’
I’m pleased to say Spring is in the
air and the cold winter days are
hopefully now behind us. I would like
to remind you that the clocks go
forward 1 hour on 31st March which
happens to be Easter Sunday. I wish
you all a restful and peaceful Easter
weekend. However, if you are looking
for something to do, please see our
‘Local Events’ pages 36 and 37.
This month we will be celebrating
Mothering Sunday. A day when we
give presents, flowers and cards to
our mothers to say ‘Thank you’ for
their love and care. A lot of busy
mums put everything and everyone
before themselves, so perhaps a
voucher for a relaxing facial,
manicure or massage would be really
appreciated (well, it would be in this
house!!!). Of course flowers are always
welcome too! Please look through
the magazine for some of these and
other great gift ideas!
Finally, I hope you all enjoy the
interesting articles and promotional
features this month. As always we
welcome any feedback you may
have and don’t forget to send details
of events happening in your area that
may be of interest to your neighbours.
Have a great month!

LAWN CARE FOR MARCH 2013
See Special Offer below
Moss Moss has been a real threat to lawns
this year, and may be affecting your lawn. Apply a specific moss treatment
now, or get ProLawnCare to spray with
their special Moss Control Treatment. Moss dies in front of your eyes, and it is
best to do it now before the Spring starts, otherwise it will crowd out the
grass and lead to a thin and sparse
lawn.
Mowing Mow at last once a week now; make
sure mower has been serviced and blade replaced or sharpened.
Fertiliser This is the time to feed and weed
(preferably in that order). The fertiliser is predominately Nitrogen in a slow
release form, but it may also need Phosphate and Potassium as well as
vital trace elements to promote a vibrant lawn.
Weed Control Once the weeds and grass are actively
growing a selective herbicide to kill broad leaved weeds such as dandelions,
daisies and clover within the grass can be applied.
Actions required in Spring:
♦ Apply Moss Control Treatment
♦ Mow Lawn At Least Once Per Week ♦ Apply Spring Fertiliser To Produce
Vibrant Green Lawn ♦ Spray Weeds In Lawn With Selective
Herbicide

East Anglia’s Children’s Hospice celebrate the Year of the Snake with the launch of the 15th Peterborough Dragon Boat Festival!
T o celebrate Chinese New Year and the Year of the Snake, East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices has joined with Gable Events to
launch the 15th Peterborough Dragon Boat Festival. The 2013 Festival takes place on Saturday 15th June on the River Nene at the Embankment, Peterborough and is one of the largest and most eagerly anticipated team events in the region. Over 30 crews representing companies, organisations, clubs & groups of friends from all over Peterborough and the surrounding area are expected to battle it out over the 200m race course. They will all be seeking to become champions whilst also aiming to add to the event’s impressive fund-raising total of more than £200,000 for charity over the years.
Owing to its successful introduction last year, teams will again be racing the smaller 11 person dragon boats and multiple crew discounts are available for those companies wishing to enter more than one team. The Festival will also be taking place on a Saturday for the second year.
Dragon boat racing has an ancient Chinese history and the Festival is a re-enactment of a tragic event that took place more than 2,000 years ago in the kingdom of Chu. Legend has it that falsely accused of treason and exiled by jealous rivals in the government, despairing warrior poet, Qu Yuan, threw himself into the Mi Lo River. Local fishermen rowed out to save the drowning poet and tried to rescue him from vicious fish by beating the water with their paddles. But their attempts failed and every year in Hong Kong a Tuen Ng (Dragon Boat) Festival is held as a mark of respect for the fishermen’s frantic efforts and to commemorate the tragic death of Qu Yuan. The dragon boat’s fierce looking dragon’s heads were added later to ward off evil spirits and in Hong Kong special dumplings are eaten to represent the dumplings that were thrown in to the river to stop the fish eating the mighty Qu’s body.
The 2013 Chinese calendar, is the Year of the Snake. As snakes are known for their pride, cunning and intelligence, this should result in some interesting races! No previous experience is required to take part in the dragon boat racing, just plenty of team spirit. Thankfully, you don’t need the physical strength of Steve Redgrave or the athleticism of Jessica Ennis to be successful as teamwork and timing win the day.
The dragon boats, qualified helms and all racing equipment are provided and each crew is guaranteed a minimum of three races. The Festival offers a full day of fun on land as well as water with plenty of activities on the bankside to entertain teams and spectators between races. The event is supported by Peterborough City Council, the Peterborough Telegraph and Heart 102.7.
EACH is the children’s hospice service for families in Peterborough and the surrounding area. They provide care and support wherever the family wishes – in families’ own homes, in hospital or at one of their hospices in Milton, Ipswich & Quidenham.
Debbie Fairhurst, Corporate Fundraiser at EACH, comments: “The money raised through the generosity of the teams taking part in the Dragon Boat Festival is very important to us and will go towards the one-to-one nursing care and support that is so vital to life-threatened local children and their families”. The top fundraisers for EACH will win the charity trophy plus a prize meal at Nando’s, Peterborough.

The Whinge
The Magic Roundabout
L ast month I told you about my lack of
Internet connection and the effect on
my digital life. Well this month I am at
last connected and re-digitized, much to
the relief of my family but to the dismay of
all the local coffee shops!
So you might be forgiven for thinking that I
couldn't possible still be moaning about my
ISP. Unfortunately, the saga continues.
I had to wait a while after I was finally
connected before I could make a final
complaint and claim for a refund for the
period when I had no service. Mainly
because I had so much catching up to do,
but also to let some of the caffeine leach
from my system. Otherwise I would have
been speaking at a rate that no ordinary
mortal could understand let alone a
service desk operative.
Now as it happens I clearly didn't leave it
long enough. My first problem was that
what I wanted to do - complain - wasn't an
option I was presented with by the
automatic answering system. I doubted
that this was because this was an option
very few people wanted so there must be
a perfectly logical explanation for this.
Maybe there was a specific number, so I
checked. But no I had the correct number
so I persevered. I later found out that "we
don't have any specific complaints
department, so we don't provide that as
an option".
Eventually, I got to speak to a human. The
wrong one apparently, so I was transferred.
To another wrong person, who transferred
me again. This time I, allegedly got through
to a person who should be able to help me!
However, I found out that I was not entitled
to any refund for the service I hadn't
received because I didn't have a
complaint registered against my account:
I had made a total of four complaints, one
of which I escalated two levels of
management. But it didn't show on my
account.
So now I had to phone back to try and
make a complaint about the fact that my
previous complaints had not been
registered and that the "not the complaints"
department were unable to refund me for a
service they hadn't provided me with but
had charged me for. Read that bit again, I
promise it will make sense eventually.
After I phoned back and was transferred a
number of times again I finally got through
to someone who did help me. She
explained that she just worked in wi-fi
support and only really dealt with technical
issues, but I think she actually felt sorry for
me: either that or she sensed the steam
escaping from my head. She said "I don't
know what they're on about I can clearly
see the complaints on your account". She
spoke to someone and all of a sudden I had
the refund I wanted. What a drama!
Next time I need help with my broadband I
think I'll phone the gas board because
obviously I'll get a faster response.

In The Night Sky #24
L ast month I introduced two major comets that we should see this year. In March we will see the first of these - PANSTARRS.
On March 5 this comet will be at its closest to Earth at a mere 165 million km. to put this in context the sun is on average 150 million km from Earth. However, this will not be the best time to see the comet. That will come later in the month. That said at only 165 m km away you should be able to see PANSTARRS.
A few days later on March 10 the comet will make its closest approach to the Sun at just 45 million km, this is known as its perihelion. After this you should get the best views of the comet in the evening sky. On March 12 the comet is projected to be seen in the early evening along with a crescent Moon just a mere 4 degrees away which should be worth seeing.
For most of March you should be able to see PANSTARRS unaided but as we move into April you will need a small telescope.
PANSTARRS (Panoramic Survey Telescope
and Rapid Response Systems) is a Prototype
telescope system that is planned to be con-
structed on the extinct volcano Haleakala in
Hawaii - the comet was named after this
system rather than any individual because a
whole team of observers, computer scientists
& astronomers were involved in the discovery
at the University of Hawaii in Manoa.
On the 12th shortly after sunset and as the
sky darkens look south-west towards the
Moon and slightly below towards the horizon
you should be able to see PANSTARRS
subject to cloud cover of course. No pictures
this month because there aren’t many that
exist yet, but hopefully I shall be able to
share some with you next month.
Happy Night Watching!

Ray and Paul Interiors
“Guaranteed Quality and Best
Service at affordable prices”
Peterborough’s leading interior retailers
‘Ray and Paul Interiors’ offer the best
quality carpets, flooring and curtains at
competitive prices.
The carpets range from £5 to £50 per
metre and curtains start from £10 per metre.
You are guaranteed to find a beautiful
carpet or set of curtains within your price
range.
Ray and Paul Interiors are a family run
business that has flourished over thirty
successful years. Long established in
Oxford Road, Millfield, they have recently
re-located to new premises at Shrewsbury
Avenue, Woodston Business Centre.
Ray and Paul interiors pride themselves on
the ultimate customer experience. Their
sales people are trained at the highest
level, giving their customers the best
experience possible.
Whether you are looking to buy or just to
enquire, all customers are treated equally.
For discerning customers with large or small
budgets you’re sure to find something to
suit your needs. Whether you are buying
for your first home and need affordable
flooring and curtains or you are looking to
re-vamp your existing home, Ray and Paul
interiors with their amazing choice and
quality will help you make “your house,
your home!”.
Customers are greeted with a glass of
Champagne and a friendly member of
staff to offer their expertise. Ray and Paul
interiors believe shopping for carpets and
curtains should be just like shopping for
clothes. Areas of the store are dedicated
to display furnishings in room settings with
different colour schemes and furniture so
you can develop an idea to suit your taste.
Paul Shaw, owner of the company said
“You wouldn’t pick a shirt displayed in a
packet and buy it straight away. You
would want to try it on or see it on a
mannequin with other items before you
commit to making an investment”.
With the understanding that some men
may leave their partners to take care of
the finer details of the purchase, they have
provided an area with a comfortable sofa,
magazines and a glass of wine where they
can relax while waiting.
Unlike big department
stores, Ray and Paul use
their own professional
carpet fitters and
in-house machinists,
guaranteeing you an
all round quality service.
If you are looking for
the best, with friendly
and second to none
customer service

‘Ray and Paul
Interiors’ new show room!

For March 2013 - By Astrologer Christine Chalklin
PISCES FEB. 19 – MARCH 20 Happy birthday Pisces! Five planets are
in your sign and may well mean that this
is your best month ever. Prepare your
creative insights and focus on your goals
and ambitions. Mars leaves your sign on the 12th
,
but produces boundless energy in fiery Aries. The
powerful new moon in your sign on the 11th
brings
clarity and focus to many areas of your life.
ARIES MARCH 21 - APRIL 20 March is a very introspective month for
usually extrovert and passionate Aries.
Always ready to get up and go, this month
you will have to step back, take stock and
reflect. You will feel the energy shift as Mars, your
ruling planet, moves into your sign on the 12th
,
bringing an abundance of creative energy.
