These changes could radically alter your plans for retirement. Few would vote against choice and flexibility for their pension, but what do the changes mean if you are planning your retirement? In theory, the flexibility will allow you to treat your pension fund in the same way as any other investment: you will be able to take withdrawals whenever you want. From April 2015, if you are a member of a defined contribution pension scheme and aged 55 or over, you will be able to draw money from it as you see fit. You can receive a tax free cash sum of up to 25% of the amount you take, then you will have the freedom to access some or all of the remaining fund as income, taxable at your marginal rate of income tax. So if you want to access all of the money from your pension, you will be able to take it as a lump sum. As tempting as it sounds to get hold of your money when you want it, in practice, the tax treatment may discourage you from extracting large sums in a single year. So unless you really need the extra income, you may want to withdraw your pension savings at a slower rate that is more tax-efficient. Although the new pension freedoms mean you will no longer be compelled visit www.anrayupolstery.co.uk (5) [email protected] THE EAST LEAKE TIMES call 07986 125482 MARCH 2015 The East Leake TIMES online on your mobile @ www.eastleaketimes. co.uk to buy an annuity, if you are looking to secure a guaranteed income for the rest of your life, an annuity will still be an appropriate option for you, especially as it’s impossible to tell how long you will live. Guidance or advice? From April 2015, the government will introduce a new right to impartial financial guidance at the point of retirement, for anyone with a defined contribution pension scheme. The guidance will be delivered through the Pensions Advisory Service and the Citizens Advice Bureau. But it’s important to understand that what will be on offer is just guidance – not advice - so while guidance will explain the impact of these new rules and let you know what you could do, it won’t tell you what you should do. Advice, therefore, remains essential. To receive a complimentary guide covering Wealth Management, Retirement planning or Inheritance Tax planning, produced by St. James’s Place Wealth Management, contact Peter Wilcox of Peter Wilcox Financial Management on 01509 881982 or email [email protected] The levels and bases of taxation and reliefs from taxation can change at any time and are dependent on individual circumstances.

FRIENDS OF MEADOW PARK We seem to have had a very erratic winter, but on the whole milder than usual, so there may soon be evidence of spring regeneration in the park, with bright celandine in the hedge bottoms and blackbirds digging among new nettle shoots for nest material – yes, please! After a meagre turn-out for our January work session (probably in part due to the coughs and colds which assailed so many of us), we had a creditable ten volunteers in February. Working in Hall Field, we created a scallop in the northern boundary path to open up a piece of grassland and also cut back a large amount of thorn and dogwood, but as Hall Field is the birds’ favourite place, we were careful, as always, not to encroach on the dense central area where they will be nesting. In March, we shall be digging out an extension to the “Bee Worlds” in Bateman Field, and coppicing hazel trees, mostly in Gibson’s Field. Anyone over 16 can be a volunteer and join in with our activities – we’d love to have more Jade Construction call (9) Anthony on 01509 889666 THE EAST LEAKE TIMES call 07986 125482 MARCH 2015 The East Leake TIMES online on your mobile @ www.eastleaketimes. co.uk muscle power!

What to look for in Meadow Park in January For those unfamiliar with Meadow Park, maps, giving the names of the fields, are found just inside the three main entrances. Our two black notice boards (at the Manor Farm Meadow and the Bateman Road entrances) carry a variety of information about the park. This is a dormant time for trees and wild flowers, so there will be nothing showy to see. Almost the only plant that flowers for twelve months of the year is the white dead nettle, so you might catch sight of that.

Dogs are much less effective than humans at processing and eliminating theobromine in the body, and therefore are much more sensitive to its effects. Theobromine is from the same class of chemicals as Caffeine, and so the side-effects of the toxin are quite similar. As you would expect, the sideeffects are dose-dependent, so chocolate with a higher theobromine content is going to have a more serious effect, especially if consumed in large amounts. Dark chocolate has the highest theobromine content, followed by milk chocolate and then white chocolate.

Although unpleasant, vomiting is a good way of eliminating the toxin and preventing absorption which stops more serious side-effects from occurring. In severe cases of chocolate toxicity, some dogs can develop neurological symptoms (including restlessness, aggression, or balance problems), heart problems (increased heart rate, high blood pressure) or abnormal muscular activity (twitching, tremors or even fitting). Although this sounds alarming, these cases are rare and death from chocolate toxicity is extremely uncommon. So, the burning question is how much chocolate is too much chocolate? Well, strictly speaking we should avoid giving chocolate to dogs at all. Apart from the toxic element, chocolate is high in fat and sugar and has a negative impact on dental health and the afore-mentioned waistline! In very small amounts, there is not likely to be any detrimental side-effects at all, but in instances such as the dog in question above, where the Easter-egg stash or similar is unexpectedly raided, we suggest that you contact your vet for advice. We have recommended guidelines that tell us how much chocolate is likely to be dangerous for your dog (we calculate how much toxin is likely to have been ingested - this depends on the type of chocolate eaten and the size of your dog!) and we can advise accordingly. Sometimes we might need to make your dog sick (if it hasn’t been sick already!) and in more severe cases, supportive therapy and monitoring The Olde Bakehouse Pet Shoppe may be required. Luckily, most owners are aware of the danger of chocolate to dogs and keep it safely locked away (in my case, mainly from children and husband – but also the dogs!). However, dogs are dogs, and chocolate is tasty (and even the foil wrappers don’t tend to be too off-putting!) so I know that this Easter (and probably before!) we will receive a few calls from concerned dog-owners and see a few chocolate-opportunists suffering the aftereffects of a chocolate raid!
