THE ALAN TITCHMARSH COLUMN 

GREENFINGERS… 

the Alan Titchmarsh 

column 

He’s a brilliant presenter, accomplished 

gardener, talented novelist, and all-round 

horticultural inspiration. This month, Alan 

Titchmarsh discusses the unpredictability of 

Mother Nature. 

We’re approaching that somewhat uncertain time of 

the year now where the elements start misbehaving 

again. 

Throughout the summer there is something of a 

confidence in the weather systems, namely that 

aside from the odd aberration, everything will reset 

back to the default of warmth and brightness. Yet 

as September progresses, the vagaries become more 

prevalent, and the unpredictability of the month is a 

notable sign of things to come. 

Of course, us gardeners are a tenacious bunch, 

aren’t we, and we are largely philosophical about the 

challenges that confront us. We dig, we plant, and we 

prune, with the hope, the expectation, that our hard 

work will pay off. But let’s be honest with ourselves 

– while we can put all the love and care into our 

gardens, we’re really at the whim of nature, aren’t we? 

It’s rather like being at a tea dance, following intently 

your partner’s steps. You may be doing pretty well, 

but at some point they’ll surprise you with a quick 

two-step when you were expecting a waltz! It’s the 

same with gardening - you might have a notion of 

what your garden will look like, a picture in your 

mind, but nature… well, she has a mind of her own. 

She doesn’t always follow our well-intentioned plans, 

does she? 

Whether it’s a sudden frost in spring, a deluge when 

we’d expected sunshine, or even a cheeky mole 

wreaking havoc amongst our tulips… and those 

beautiful roses you planted, just perfect for your 

garden’s colour scheme? Sometimes they simply decide 

not to grow! 

In short, nature has a way of reminding us who is truly 

in control. 

Now, if I’ve learned anything from my years digging 

in the dirt, it’s that gardening isn’t about fighting these 

setbacks. Rather, go along with them. We need to adapt, 

to be resilient. It’s a dance, remember? And dancing 

isn’t nearly as fun if you’re constantly stepping on your 

partner’s toes! 

Let’s take that mole as an example. We might feel 

frustrated, even a bit angry, to find our lovely lawn full 

of molehills. But then, we might also realise that Mr.

parking 

3 

Mole has kindly done us the favour of aerating our 

soil! And that, my friends, is a perfect opportunity to 

sow some wildflower seeds. Before you know it, what 

was once a patchy lawn could become a buzzing, 

vibrant mini-meadow. And all thanks to a little 

setback! 

It’s only right, isn’t it, that we let nature find her own 

way? After all, she’s been doing this for quite a bit 

longer than we have. Who are we to dictate the rules? 

Our job, as gardeners, is to support and encourage 

nature, not to control it. 

Now, there will be times when we’re up against the 

wall, when the weather, the bugs, the unexpected 

growth, feel like too much. It’s okay to feel 

disheartened, but I implore you to take a step back, to 

look at your garden, and to see not what it isn’t, but 

what it could be. 

Remember, every challenge is an opportunity for 

growth, both for our plants and for us as gardeners. So 

embrace the uncertainty, revel in the unexpected, and 

keep on dancing with nature. You might be surprised 

at where the dance takes you. 

Almost 1 in 5 renters pause buying 

plans due to rising mortgage rates 

Escalating mortgage rates are driving up the number of 

renters scrapping their plans to buy a home, according to 

research from The Mortgage Lender. 

TML data shows that 19% of renters have said that high mortgage rates mean they 

can’t afford to buy now and have put plans on hold completely, with 12% saying 

that they would stay renting until prices came down. 

For others, however, keeping an eye on the numbers is key to figuring out their 

next step, with 10% saying that they were waiting for rates to fall. Similarly, 9% 

agreed that there is no point in looking to buy until rates come down, and 6% 

are waiting to see the Bank of England’s next base rate decision before making a 

decision. 

“This really highlights just how vital it is to speak to a broker early about your 

property ambitions. They can help break down how much you can afford, as well 

as any other available options. If it’s not the right time to buy now but you plan to 

in the future, make sure you are still working towards becoming ‘mortgage ready’. 

This will ensure when the time is right you are prepared to take that next step. 

“Even in challenging times, potential buyers should remember that there are 

lenders that can support them, and a broker will be key in being able to help find 

the best deals.” 

Despite this, 6% have said that they’re progressing with their home-buying plans, 

though they’re having to make significant compromises in order to do so. A quarter 

of those still planning to buy say that they’re now buying away from traditional 

commuter towns, and 32% have had to move further from the city centre. 

Likewise, 16% are buying in an area with cheaper living costs to combat higher 

costs. 

Others are having to reconsider the properties themselves, with 21% saying that 

they’re buying a cheaper property that needs more renovation work, and 12% are 

looking to buy smaller properties instead. 

Steve Griffiths, Chief Commercial Officer at TML comments: 

“The journey to buying a property can be a long one, and it can easily be 

complicated by the ebbs and flows of the housing market, particularly when we 

consider the current landscape. 

“Although being adaptable and regularly checking in on the base rate will serve 

renters well in the long term, it’s understandable that so many are feeling frustrated 

by their options.

I LOVE WHERE I LIVE 

I love where I live… 

Shirenewton 

Glynis MacDonald, stalwart of Shirenewton village panto, tells Sharon 

Chilcott that ‘Oh yes it is’ a great place to live! 

Apparently, Shirenewton is famous for having a Christingle 

with live donkeys! That’s according to research reported in 

The Telegraph, which named our village as one of the most 

desirable in the UK. I have to admit to having something 

to do with those donkeys! We used to have a Christingle 

in the church on Christmas Eve, but after Covid a friend 

and I came up with the idea of a walkabout Christingle. 

The children visit the kings, the angels and the shepherds 

around the village and then go to see Mary and Joseph, who 

will have taken up temporary residence in my garage. And 

the lovely little donkeys are a great pull. 

Donkeys apart, what else makes 

Shirenewton a desirable place to live? 

I have lived in here for the past 30 years and I have found 

it to be a village with a really strong community spirit. Also, 

the countryside around here is beautiful. 

For you, what’s the best thing about living 

there? 

When the chips are down, people in the village are 

tremendously kind. I am surrounded by great friends and 

there is always lots to do. The village church organises 

quite a lot of things; there is a thriving bell ringing group, 

which I am part of and really enjoy. I am also the director 

of the Shirenewton Operatic and Drama Society (less of 

the operatic and more of the dramatic), which puts on 

an annual panto in Earlswood Village Hall. SODS was 

resurrected to do a panto for the year 2000 and we have 

been doing one ever since, with an interruption during 

Covid. There is a lot of talent in and around the village! 

What sort of people does Shirenewton 

attract? 

Well, it is particularly popular with families because of the 

reputation of the primary school. There is also a playgroup, 

lots of social groups that meet in the recreation hall and 

a recreation ground with a playground, tennis courts and 

green space. The recreation ground is also used by junior 

football teams. 

Is there anything which spoils the place for 

you? 

Noisy motorbikes on the Usk Road, which shatter the peace 

of our usually beautifully quiet village.

9 

Do you have a favourite local pub? 

After bell ringing we take it in turns to go to The Huntsman 

or The Carpenters Arms. I don’t have a favourite – it is horses 

for courses. The Huntsman does good takeaways and if it 

is a nice day you can sit out on the balcony and look at the 

view. The Carpenters Arms, on the other hand, is a lovely old 

fashioned pub. 

In the last few weeks, The Tredegar Arms, in the village 

centre, has opened as The Sultan of Shirenewton, serving 

Indian meals and doing take-aways. 

Where would you book up for a celebratory 

meal? 

I thoroughly enjoy going to The Greyhound Inn at 

Llantrissent, near Usk. Panevino, the Italian Restaurant in 

Chepstow is also nice. And I hear The Globe in Alvington is 

good too! 

Where do you go for entertainment? 

I go to the theatres in Bath and Bristol and to The Savoy and 

The Blake theatres in Monmouth. The Drill Hall in Chepstow 

puts on some fabulous evenings – live screenings of West 

End productions, ballets, and opera and then Chepstow 

Book Shop arranges great talks by well-known authors and 

poets. Oh, and I support the St Woolos Sinfonia down in 

Newport. Wonderful music! 

On one of my favourite local walks, you get wonderful views across the estuary 

and can see the two Severn bridges. 

What leisure pursuits do you enjoy locally? 

I occasionally look after Dylan, a friend’s dog, so I have got to 

know the dog-walking fraternity, which has been nice. I was 

reminded about dog-walking etiquette - always ask about 

the dog’s health and well-being before you ask about their 

owner’s. There are some beautiful dog walks in the area and 

plenty of poo bins. On one of my favourite local walks, you 

get wonderful views across the estuary and can see the two 

Severn bridges. 

I belong to The Chepstow Athletic Club, where there are 

some excellent tennis courts and I enjoy going on bike rides 

– the hills around here certainly keep you fit. I went to The 

Drill Hall and saw Giles Brandreth talking about poetry. Now, 

when I am pedalling up a particularly difficult hill I recite 

poetry to distract myself! 

Where would you shop for a dinner party? 

I would either go to the M&S Food Hall in Chepstow or I 

would cycle to Newchurch Farm Shop, where they have a 

good range of local foods and a café. I have to cycle uphill 

to get there, but then when I have put my shopping in the 

panniers, it’s a downhill cycle home. 

Where do you shop for day-to-day groceries? 

For bulk shopping I go to Tesco in Chepstow. 

What’s the most fun you have had at a social 

event in Shirenewton? 

Well, naturally the annual panto! There is a good social life 

in the village, with other events, besides the fabulous panto, 

including an annual fete with a dog show. There are Bring 

and Share evenings in the Church Room and after church 

there is coffee and cake, where anyone can pitch up for a 

chat. I also belong to an active Local History Society. 

Apart from directing the annual panto, in 

what other ways are you involved in your 

local community? 

I am a keyholder and booking clerk for the Earlswood 

Village Hall and for the Church Room and I belong to the 

Maintenance Gang, doing odd jobs around the village. I also 

get involved in the annual ShAMBLE, a community window 

art trail, as well as the Carols around the Village Christmas 

Tree and the Advent Fair. 

How would you advise someone new into 

the area to get to know the locals? 

Get the parish magazine, which is full of contacts and 

useful local information. Go to the local pubs. Get a dog! 

What’s your favourite time of year in 

Shirenewton? 

My garden is spectacular in spring – I have a mania for red 

tulips! Autumn is beautiful here as well. 

Can you tell me a fascinating fact about 

Shirenewton? 

At the entrance to Shirenewton Hall there is a blue plaque 

to commemorate Edward Lowe, who lived there from 1880 

to 1900. He was a founder member of the Meteorological 

Society and in his day he was famous not only as a 

meteorologist, but also as an astronomer and as a botanist, 

with a particular interest in ferns. Apparently, he had a 

large grey beard and was affectionately known as The Big 

Snowflake. 

Facts and Figures 

The sought-after village of Shirenewton enjoys a hill-top 

location, from where there are stunning views over the 

rolling Monmouthshire countryside, the Severn Estuary and 

the Bristol Channel. It has a vibrant community, a wellregarded 

primary school, a Norman church, local pubs 

and a recreation hall and church room hosting a variety of 

groups, clubs and social events. The core of the village is a 

Conservation Area. On the edge of both the Wye Valley Area 

of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Wentwood Forest, one 

of the largest ancient woodlands in Wales, the village offers a 

wealth of opportunities for lovers of the outdoors, including 

walkers, cyclists and horse-riders. The location offers a 

peaceful, country lifestyle, yet within easy access of the 

M48 motorway network for commuting to Bristol, London, 

Newport and Cardiff. Around five miles away, the market 

town of Chepstow provides shops, services and further 

recreation and social opportunities.

Common Mistakes in National Minimum Wage Compliance 

In June 2023, the UK Government identified 202 employers who had failed to pay their staff the legal minimum wage. This breach affected approximately 63,000 workers across 

a range of businesses, from major brands to small enterprises. The government’s message is clear: all employers must adhere to the statutory minimum wage regulations. 

To ensure proper compliance and fair compensation for employees, businesses must be aware of the following common mistakes: 

1. Failure to implement new rates: The primary reason for underpayment is neglecting to apply the annual minimum wage rate increase, which occurs every 1st of 

April. 

2. Overlooking birthdays: Underpayments often occur when employers miss employees’ birthdays, causing them to move from one rate to another. 

3. Inappropriate payment of apprentice rates: Only apprentice under the age of 19 or in their first year of apprenticeship are eligible for the reduced 

apprenticeship rate. 

4. Misuse of the apprentice rate: Recognized apprentices must be engaged under a contract of apprenticeship and undergo structured training. 

5. Failure to pay for working time: Determining which time should be paid, such as travel time, training time, and on-call time, can be challenging and 

requires consultation with relevant case law. 

6. Neglecting payment for additional time: Employers must ensure that they compensate employees for additional time worked, such as clearing 

security checks or clocking in/out. 

7. Including non-National Minimum Wage-countable payments: Employers commonly make the mistake of including pay elements, such as 

tips, overtime payments, expense reimbursements, and wage advances, that do not count towards the minimum wage calculation. 

8. Deductions: Deductions for job-related items or expenses, including safety clothing, uniforms, safety boots, and tools, reduce the 

employees’ average hourly pay below the National Minimum Wage. 

9. Accommodation offset: Charging workers more than the offset rate for living accommodation can lead to non-compliance, and 

will impact NMW calculations. 

10. Mistaken exemption from NMW: Exemptions include members of the armed forces, certain company directors, and 

voluntary workers who receive no monetary payments or benefits in kind, apart from reasonable expense reimbursement. 

To ensure compliance with the National Minimum Wage regulations, employers should consult local advisors to maximize 

tax savings through applicable schemes. 

Get in touch with your local advisor to discuss National Minimum Wages compliance

WHO SAYS BUSINESS 

& PLEASURE DON’T MIX? 

Investing in a luxury holiday lodge at Maesmawr Farm Resort could be more 

profitable than you think with domestic tourism and UK staycations set to boom 

Have you found a new appreciation for the 

natural beauty found closer to home over 

lockdown? 

You’re not the only one – new research has found 

that 83% of tourists would prefer to holiday in the 

UK than travel abroad this year, and this trend 

is set to continue into next year, bringing a huge 

boost to Britain’s hospitality and holiday sector. 

With holidaymakers turning to socially distanced 

trips that are locally accessible during this volatile 

time, now is the time to take advantage of the UK 

holiday market which generates over £9.3 billion 

every year in revenue – camping, glamping and 

lodge holidays have become a great option for 

people wishing to escape everyday life whilst 

minimising the risk of Covid-19. 

Enter Maesmawr Farm Resort. An idyllic hidden 

gem set deep within the heart of the Welsh hills, 

Maesmawr Farm offers a slice of escapism from 

the hustle and bustle of the usual tourist spots; 

this resort is the perfect place to restore and 

rejuvenate your senses, being nestled within 27 

acres of stunning landscaped grounds, boasting 

uninterrupted, panoramic views of the rolling hills 

and countryside of the mystical Severn Valley. 

Maesmawr Farm is part of the Boutique Resorts 

collection, founded by Mark Whitehouse in late 

2014 with the aim of creating a collection of 

boutique luxury resorts that appeal to those who 

seek peace and relaxation from their holiday 

time. Having worked in the industry since the 

1980’s and having owned several Parks in that 

time, Mark has accumulated over thirty years 

of valuable experience and insight into the 

holiday industry. 

This industry knowledge shines through 

everything the Whitehouse family does, as Mark 

has explained in a recent interview: “Our quest for 

delivering a high quality experience to our owners 

and guests is built on customer service beyond 

that of our competitors, with one simple value 

kept in mind: to treat people as we would wish to 

be treated ourselves. This is paying exponential 

dividends, as our levels of repeat visitors grows 

year on year and our lodge owners continue 

recommending us to others. 

We’ve seen a strong rise in demand for luxury 

lodge ownership and holidays in recent years, 

and industry experts are predicting the demand to 

continue to rise to a sustained level around 40% 

higher than it was previously, due to the current 

situation introducing new customers to our 

marketplace. 

It certainly seems that UK domestic tourism is 

gearing up for a sustained period of long term 

growth, which is presenting strong opportunities 

for anyone wishing to enjoy a second home in a 

secure environment that effectively pays them to 

own it.” 

With this focus on exceptional quality, Maesmawr 

Farm Resort offers stunning 2- and 3-bedroom 

holiday lodges for sale and holiday rental, and 

all of the holiday homes have been created in a 

collaborative effort between some of the best 

designers in the business. With outside spaces just 

waiting to be explored and discovered, each lodge 

available offers luxury furnishings, quirky interior 

designs and large private decks that overlook the 

beautiful countryside views. 

Not to be confused with conventional Holiday 

Parks, Maesmawr Farm offers long-term property 

ownership that can be enjoyed for generations, 

just like a cottage would be but with the additional 

benefits, security and support of being on a wellmanaged, 

private leisure development – and the 

on-site team can assist with all manner of things 

to make visits even more enjoyable for owners 

and guests alike with a Concierge-style service. 

Offering an incredible investment opportunity, the 

lodges here benefit from a fully managed letting 

package that covers all aspects of what is required 

end to end – from marketing to maintenance. 

Buy-to-let owners don’t have to lift a finger and 

can simply sit back and benefit from net returns 

of up to 10% with peak-week tariffs reaching up 

to £1,500 – and for those who want certainty over 

higher yields, fixed returns are also available. 

If the thought of a hands-free, tax efficient, 

high-yielding leisure property investment 

with additional lifestyle benefits in the Welsh 

countryside has you curious, then get in touch 

today for more information!

10 Reasons Why Regional Installers of Windows 

and Doors Are Better Than National Ones 

When it comes to replacing windows and doors, choosing the right installer 

is crucial. The choice can sometimes feel bewildering with everything 

from national companies, and regional ones such as Glevum to “one man 

band” builders that also install windows and doors. While national installers may be 

household names, there are many reasons why you may opt for a regional installer 

for your window and door needs. In this blog, we’ll explore the top ten reasons why 

regional installers are a better choice.The cost of new uPVC doors and windows is 

influenced by several factors, including: 

Local Expertise 

Regional installers have a deep understanding of the local area, building regulations, 

and architectural styles. This expertise ensures that they can provide tailored 

solutions that are perfectly suited to your specific needs, considering factors like 

weather conditions, energy efficiency, and design requirements. 

Personalised Service 

With regional installers, you can expect a more personal and attentive approach. They 

often have a smaller customer base, allowing them to focus on individual needs and 

offer a higher level of customer service. You’re more likely to have direct access to the 

decision-makers, ensuring clear communication throughout the installation process. 

After-Sales Support 

Regional installers are more accessible and responsive when it comes to after-sales 

support. In case of any issues or concerns, you can expect a prompt resolution, often 

with the same individuals who handled your installation. This level of personalised 

care ensures that you receive ongoing support and peace of mind long after the 

project is completed. 

So, which will you choose? 

While national installers may have their merits, regional installers offer a range of 

benefits that make them the preferred choice for window and door installations. 

Their local expertise, personalised service, and commitment to the community set 

them apart, providing homeowners with exceptional value, reliability and high 

quality products. 

If you are considering new uPVC windows and doors, then why not contact Glevum 

Windows for more information or a no obligation quote by calling 0800 33 22 55 or 

by visiting www.glevum.co.uk 

Faster Response Time 

Regional installers are generally more responsive and efficient than national 

companies. They are typically located closer to your home, which means they can 

provide quicker assistance, from initial consultation to project completion. This 

promptness ensures a smoother and more convenient experience for homeowners. 

Local Reputation 

Regional installers rely heavily on their local reputation to thrive in their area. They 

prioritise customer satisfaction and maintain a strong track record of successful 

installations. By choosing a regional installer with a well-established reputation, 

you can have greater confidence in the quality of their workmanship and after-sales 

support. 

Supporting Local Economy 

When you choose a regional installer, you contribute to the growth of your local 

economy. By supporting local businesses, you help create jobs and stimulate 

economic development in your community. It’s a win-win situation as you receive 

top-notch service while making a positive impact on your area. 

Flexibility and Customisation 

Regional installers often have more flexibility in accommodating your specific 

requirements. They can offer a wider range of customisable options in terms of 

window and door designs, colours, hardware, and finishes. This allows you to tailor 

the final product to your preferences, creating a unique look for your home. 

Competitive Pricing 

Contrary to popular belief, regional installers can often provide competitive pricing 

compared to national companies. Their lower overhead costs and focus on local 

markets enable them to offer cost-effective solutions without compromising on 

quality. By obtaining quotes from regional installers, you can potentially save money 

on your window and door installation. Whilst sometimes a “one man band” installer 

can be cheaper, do they have the same experience, level of skill and after care service? 

Local Regulations Compliance 

Building regulations and codes can vary from region to region. Regional installers 

have an in-depth understanding of the local rules and ensure that your installation 

meets all necessary compliance requirements. This knowledge helps streamline the 

process, avoiding delays and potential complications. 

Community Involvement 

Regional installers are deeply invested in their local communities. They actively 

participate in community events, support local charities, and establish strong 

relationships with their customers. By choosing a regional installer, you become part 

of this community-centric approach and contribute to a sustainable and supportive 

ecosystem. Glevum are active supporters of the local charity and sporting community.
