Local independent, equity release specialists, Laterlivingnow! 

has been named ‘Winner’ of the 'Best Financial Adviser - 

5orfewer advisers' category atthe ‘Equity Release Awards 

2022’, the ‘Oscars’ of the industry. 

of experience, knowledge and skills 

to help guide people at what can be a 

critical point in their lives.” 

Not being tied toany single lender, 

Laterlivingnow! can access the 

‘whole of market’,helping sourcethe 

most favourable plans fromover 700 

available today, and secureattractive 

fixed interest rates for life. With 

interest rates widely reportedasdue 

to rise, many homeowners over 55 

are taking advantage by releasing 

equity now. 

Pictured collecting the award: Simon Chalk -founder, 

Kaye Wallis –Head ofMarketing, &Chris South –Adviser 

Laterlivingnow!, asthe only Equity 

Releasespecialist company based in 

Chesterfield and Derbyshire but 

serving clients throughout the UK 

including our own Doorsteppa area, 

claimed ‘BestFinancial Adviser–5or 

fewer advisers’ at the Equity 

Release Awards ceremony in 

LondoninJanuary. 

Simon Chalk – founder, said “This 

award is testament to thehard work, 

integrity, and expertise ofour small 

privately owned firm,” Kaye Wallis – 

Head of Marketing added “The 

judging panelwereclearly impressed 

by thefirst-class service we offer our 

clients and our reputation for giving 

clear, appropriate advice and 

guidance” 

Simon doesn’t intend letting the 

company become too big for its 

boots.“We are small, independent of 

every lender and enjoy being so. The 

bignational firms thatadvertise on 

TV and the internet are often 

promoting their own plans and 

simply cannot match us for personal 

service or choice”. 

Customer delight is evidenced by88 

Google Reviews – each one an 

impressive ‘5-star ***** rating, with 

166 reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5.0 

on VouchedFor –the leading site for 

reviews of professional firms. This 

has helped Laterlivingnow! gain a 

listing in the Sunday Times ‘Top 

Rated Advisers 2022’ guide, due out 

in March. 

Simon said “more and more advisers 

and big brands are entering the 

equity release market, making it 

difficult for customers to know who 

to trust with such a big decision. 

Taking out aLifetime Mortgage can 

affect entitlementtocertain benefits 

and impact on future choiceinpaying 

for care. Webelieve that our small 

team possess the best combination 

With inflation making everyone’s 

living costs rise, Laterlivingnow! has 

experienced an increase in enquiries 

fromhomeowners over 55 looking to 

cover day-to-day living expenses, or 

to help out family. The pandemic has 

led to people spending more time at 

home, encouraging them to make 

home improvements, extend living 

space,oradapting aroomtobecome 

ahome-office. 

Laterlivingnow! offers aFREE initial 

consultation to help homeowners 

decide ifanequity release lifetime 

mortgage could be right for them, as 

it maynot always be the best option.

area, and ofcourse you’re welcome

COMMUNITY 

Your Pet Food Bank 

One ofthe main reasons Your Pet Food Bank 

was founded in2021 was tohelp people who 

were facing financial difficulties to feed their 

pets without worry. 

Oneofour goalsistoensure 

that thepetsofpeoplefacing 

financial hardship are not thenmade homeless 

or giventoalready-strugglinganimalshelters. 

Your Pet Food Bank has worked hard to build 

relationships with food banks and community 

centres, and has made sure that there are 

frequent donations of pet food to support 

those in need. 

Pets are an important part in many people's 

lives, and play the role of friend and companion 

as well as offeringsupport.Itisheartbreaking 

tothink that people would have to make 

the decision to rehome their pet -and also 

upset asettled animal -when abag of food

ARIES 21 March -20April 

Putting emotion aside use your head and think things 

through. This is no time for wishful thinking or emotional outbursts. 

If necessary someone in aposition of authority can offer help and 

guidance. Heed their words! This could be around career or a 

partnership issue. Act with prudence and check every detail witha 

finetoothcomb. Historically, errorshavebeenmade but there’s no 

reason why you can’t, with care and thought,improve your position. 

16 

TAROTSCOPES 

LIBRA 24 September -23October 

Recent tensions start to lift andthe relief thisbrings is 

welcome. Spring is in theair and you benefit from thepromise of 

longer daysand thesummer to come. You’remore than capable 

of dealing with anything put before you and have apositive, can 

do, attitude. Financially, you’re asked to be circumspect with 

money. Investments look good with the chance of alump sum 

coming your way. Thrift is your watchword now. 

TAURUS 21 April -21May 

You owe alot to that person who pushed you along because 

now you should be standing out from thecrowd and basking in the 

warm glowofvictory. Please don’t let it go to yourhead; nobody 

likes ashow off! This is thestart of something wonderful. Time to, 

once and for all,let go of thepast and forge ahead in your own 

way. Successisassured providing you make theeffort. 

GEMINI 22 May -21June 

Alow mood can be lifted by ensuring plenty of rest and 

relaxation. Don’t let things spiral out of control. Some tough 

choices and decisions need to be made and you’re undecided on 

your best course of action. For now do nothing and let events 

unfold as they should. Worrying won’t help and if you havefaith in 

yourself, and theworld at large, you’llfind the most happy of 

outcomes arriving on your doorstep. 

2 

CANCER 22 June -23July 

Someone isn’t quite whom they seemand could, potentially, 

put aspanner in your works. It might be best to keep your cards 

close to your chestfor now. You have ideas aplentyand one of 

them brings amuch happier, more rewarding, lifestyle with it. 

However! To bring all this to fruition will require you to digdeep 

within yourself to find ways to overcome resistance from others. 

Determination is thekey to success. 

LEO 24 July-23 August 

Let goofthe old to make way for the new. You’re going 

through agreat period of transformation. New places and new 

faces come stronglyinto focus. Possibly achange of employment 

or perhaps aholiday to adestination you’ve never been before. 

Either waythereismuchhappiness to look forward to. Whythen 

are you feeling somewhat despondent? There’s adanger of 

missing out on awonderful opportunityifyou’re not careful! 

VIRGO 24 August-23 September 

Feeling alittle disheartened? There are opportunities 

around which will bring much joy and happiness if only you would 

let them. That said, one person isn’tquite who they claim to be 

and could engage in tittle tattlewhichdoesn’t benefit you. Keep 

your eyes open and miss nothing. Look to how you can safeguard 

your future and putting alittleaside forarainy day helps. 

Someone lends alistening ear and emotional support. 

SCORPIO 24 October -22November 

Finances feature strongly withnew opportunities in career, 

business, and property, as well as acontinuation of good fortunein 

relationships. You findyourself in theright place at theright time 

to capitalize on eventsasthey unfold and whatever you touch has 

thepotential to yield dividends. Go forwhat you want full-steam 

ahead and don’t take no for an answer. Success comes from 

thinking outside thebox and taking an alternative path. 

SAGITTARIUS 23 November -21December 

Emotions go from one extremetoanother and it is 

exhausting! More than one situation is involved, though work and 

career seem themain culprit. Allyou can do is maintain asteady 

pace and keep going. Aresolution is nearer than youthink. It’s 

imperative youask forhelp and delegatewhere necessary. One 

area requires input and decisions from others. To findpeace you’ll 

have to accept the outcome and work withit. 

CAPRICORN 22 December -20January 

Anew adventure awaitsand you can’t wait to be on your way. 

There will be twists and turns placed beforeyou but it’s all exciting 

stuff. Remember thereare no guarantees in life but if you don’ttry 

you’llnever know your capabilities. Luckily foryou thereismore 

thanahint of success and you’ll be on topofthe world as events 

slot in to place. Be fair to everyone including yourself. 

AQUARIUS 21 January -19February 

Not everyone is who theysay they aresobeware of who you 

confide in. You have abig decision before you and thepull 

between ‘should you’ or ‘shouldn’t you’ weighs heavy. Think 

carefully, taking into consideration all possible outcomes. Once 

you have made your decision and moved forward then bridges will 

be burned. It’s notasgloomy as it sounds and beyond the 

decision making is thereliefofaplan in place. 

PISCES 20 February -20March 

Home is where the heart is so don’t be afraid to close the 

door on the rest of the world and relax with your feet up. You’ve 

worked hard and it’s now time to reap therewards. Property 

matters and finance feature stronglyand bothshould have a 

positive slant to them. Even if something fails to liveupto 

expectations; do not fear. Eventuallyitwill turn out far better than 

you ever imagined.

Your life changes forever the day youbring home your little bundle 

of joy. Whether you give birth naturally, adopt or foster, this little 

person now depends on you for everything. From now on they 

come first, you comesecond, and apoorsecond at that. 

Beingamother is fabulous,and funny, and frightening.It’s the best 

and worst ofjobs. There are cuddles and giggles, sports days and 

parents’ evenings, Nativities, and music recitals…there are also 

blazing rows with slammeddoors, sleeplessnightsand morevomit 

thanyou ever realised one small humancould produce. 

of your own to tell your motherwhat she means to you. Make sure 

sheknows thatshe’s loved and appreciatedall year round. 

Mumsare multi-tasking maestros.Carer, teacher, agony aunt,tour 

guide, drill sergeant, PA, and chauffeur… Even when they leave 

homeitdoesn’t stop. Istill rely on my motherfor advice,help with 

childcare,and ashoulder to cryonwhenthingsgopear-shaped. 

It’s only now as with children of my own, thatIrealise what my own 

motherwentthrough–why she made me do my homework, go to 

bed early, stop beating my sister up, eat mybroccoli, save my 

pocket money, don’t talk to strangers, and say please and thank you. 

Mother’s Day might have become acliché, but it does give us the 

perfect opportunity tosay thank you to our mums for everything 

theyhave done andstill do forus. 

Anna Jarvis, who founded Mothers’Day in theUSsaidshe came to 

regret campaigning to get the day recognised, because it became 

commercialised. She hated that people sent cards with a pre 

printed message rather than writing aletter. 

So, although it’s anice gesture to buy acard and give flowers and 

chocolates, it’s even nicer to do something specialtoshow you care 

–maybe valet her carortreat her to apamper session, or just visit 

and spend the afternoon chatting. Timeisthe mostprecious gift of 

all. 

And go beyond the message in the card. Write afew personal lines 

Mother’s Day is celebrated all around the world, usually in March 

or in May. 

In theUK, it is amixture of aChristian tradition, and the celebration 

of motherhood that began in the USA in the early 20th century. 

During the 16th century, people in service would return to their 

home or ‘mother’ churchonthe fourth Sunday in Lent –Mothering 

Sunday. 

The modern version of Mothers’ Day we know today became a 

regular event in the 1950s, largely thanks to businesses keen to 

exploit itscommercialpotential!

Dubai’s waterparks have something for all 

2ages. From the thrilling rides for adrenaline 

junkies to idyllic beaches for those who like a 

slower pace oflife, here are some ofthe best 

waterparks to visit: 

•Legoland Water Park caters for children all 

ages.There’saDuplo Splash Safari for toddlers, 

while other slides provide thrills for the bigger 

children. At‘Build-A-Boat’, children can even 

construct aboat and test it on the water. This 

waterpark isperfect for those with children 

aged 2 to 12 with plenty of interactive 

experiences. 

•The biggestwaterparkinDubai,Aquaventure 

is made up of two main towers, Poseidon and 

Neptune, connected byagiant lazy river that 

transports riders between slides. For those 

with astrong stomach, try the Leap ofFaith, a 

wide-open near-verticaldrop! 

•AquaFun is the region’s biggest inflatable 

waterpark with 74 games totry along the fun 

course. Italso features some of the world’s 

longest and highest water slides. 

•Splash Pad at The Beach isperfect for little 

ones with its fountains, tipper bucket and 

climbing frames. There’s also plenty of 

entertainment nearby to keep you busy into 

the evening. 

Friday Brunch 

Dubai’s working week spans Sunday to 

Thursday so Friday is the time to kick back and 

enjoy adelicious family-friendly brunch: 

•The Ultimate Friday Brunch takes place at 

Flow Kitchen atFairmont the Palm. There’s a 

selection of healthy bites, Middle Eastern 

classics and delicious roasts from live cooking 

stations. The little ones can stay entertained 

with activities suchasfacepaintingand fun arts

•Brunch atAtmosphere, onlevel 122 of the 

Burj Khalifa tower is one of those ‘only in

Kids rule at Kidzania! 

Located inside the Dubai Mall, Kidzania is a 

place where children can work, play and 

pretend in this made up town where they’re in 

charge! There are over 80-role playing activities 

and 60 city establishments where children can 

build essential real-life skills. On arrival, 

children begin at the airport with aboarding 

pass and 50 kidzos (the Kidzania currency). 

They can head to the bank, cash their checks 

and hit the streets to explore.Theycan work to 

earn more money in avariety of roles such as 

firefighter or beautician and then treat 

themselves to things like shopping sprees and 

entertainment. They’ve earned it! 

Something alittledifferent 

If the family have had enough ofall the usual 

sun, sea and sand-based activities, here are a 

few ideasfor something alittle different…

to 11 which is split into eight themedgalleries.

to keep little ones occupied!

HISTORY 

This month Killamarsh Heritage Society mark 10 years 

since the three sculptures were erected on the Trans 

Pennine Trail just above Forge Lane in Killamarsh. 

2 

The sculptures were unveiled on the 12th 

of March 2012 as part of aConnect2 

projectbySustrans including the two foot 

bridges over the River Rother and linking 

the Halfway tram terminus with the Trans 

Pennine Trail at Killamarsh bypassing the 

busyB6058 Station Road. 

Sustrans, the sustainable transport 

charity launched its five year Connect2 

projectinAugust2006 and it involved the 

creationofnew cycle and walking routes, 

bridges and otherfacilities in 79 locations 

around the UK. It aimed tocreate new 

networks of local paths, improve cycling 

and walking access and to connect local 

areas. 

The scheme provided alinkfor Killamarsh 

residents to the tram terminus and 

Morrisons at Halfway and alsoprovides a 

safe route for Halfway residentstoaccess 

the Trans Pennine Trail both north 

towards Rother Valley Country 

Park/Sheffield and south towards 

Staveley/Chesterfield. The scheme 

comprises ofa33metre bridge over the 

River Rother, a31metre bridge over the 

railway line and tarmac 3.5 metre paths 

linking to the new bridges from Old Lane 

(in Halfway) and Forge Lane (in 

Killamarsh). 

The sculpture installation is one of 

several created as part of a national 

portrait bench co-ordinated bySustrans. 

Local people were chosen tobepart of 

the tableau –one to representKillamarsh 

(NorthEastDerbyshire), one to represent 

Sheffield and one to represent 

Rotherham. They were chosen onthe 

basis of their individual contributions to 

the community. The selection was made 

from public nominations and a 

subsequent vote. 

The silhouettes were reproduced from 

photographs cut from sheet steel which 

were left untreated so as to attain a 

weathered appearance. The wooden 

bench has asmall round plaque set into 

one end describing the contributions of 

the three chosenpeople. 

The final three which you will see today

Keep the Frame -Lose the Pane! 

Most of us have double glazing thesedays.What a 

wonderful thing itis! No more draughts, warmer 

houses,lessnoise. But what happens when the seal 

goes and condensation starts to form? Doesitmean 

paying out foracomplete new window andframe? 

Not at all! According toSteve Godley (pictured 

right), owner of PerfectlyClear Windows, it’s often 

not necessary to renew the complete window and 

frame. Simply replacingthe defective glass will do - 

and save you lots of expenseinthe process!

match existing units. 

Steveexplains, “I personally advise on thebest 

options in order for thecustomer to make a 

well-informed choice.” 

His honest, reliable advice means that customers 

avoid unnecessary expense,eventhough it may 

result in him losing business. 

“I take the long term view,” he says.“By
