THE Ribble Valley was represented among the win­ ners of a woodland competi­ tion announced at the Royal Lancashire Show.


The aim of the contest,


which has been running since 1998, was to encour­ age the management and planting of woodlands across the county. It was set up as a tribute to Mrs Genna Weld Blundell, wife of Mr John Weld Blundell, of Leagram Hall, Chip­ ping. She died of cancer in 1996 and proceeds from the competition are being donated in her memory to the St Catherine's Hospice


Cancer Support Nurses. There are three competi­


tive classe, one for restocked or new woods under 10 years old, another for the most improved wood, and one for the best managed wood which has an empha­ sis on multiple objectives. Two of the three winners


were from the Ribble Valley, with Mr Jack Berry MBE collecting the prize on behalf of Marling Bank, Chipping, which won the


first class and The Hon Ralph Assheton collecting the prize awarded to Searchlight Wood on the Downham Estate, the over­ all winner in the best man­ aged woodland class. The presentation was


made by the Lord Lieu­ tenant of Lancashire, Lord Shuttleworlh, and County Coun. George Slynn, chair­ man of Lancashire County Council’s Planning, Indus­ trial Development and

If you dig your heels in too hard or continue pushing certain differences of opinion to a conclusion, you may find you do not help your cause. Sometimes it pays just to be gracious and give way a little. Friends will be around to give you support and you can see summer times ahead. It may not happen overnight but you are clearly on your way. Try to clear space for yourself from next Tuesday, since you definitely need a chance to wind down and step back slightly.

One financial matter has been of concern to you but at least now you know where you stand and can start to build on what is realistic. There may have been sharp words spoken recently so you will find it semes your interests best to do a little smoothing down of rough edges. From 22nd you will want to be talking to friends and team mates, younger ones especially, since they are forward looking and stimulating. Do not let the grass grow under your feet but push ahead with enthusiasm.

You are still pushing and pulling a little to get close partners to shift position, since compromise is really the only way fonvard.

Maybe there will be a few lingering resentments but they should not be around for long, since you basically dislike awkward feelings. So let bygones be bygones.

You do-feel you have moved into a new phase. Saturn crossing the lowest point of your chart means you are emerging into a busier, more active time in the world. It may also bring tensions to the surface at home but at least that way you can get them cleared out of the way for good. Tackle every issue head on and be as practical and realistic as possible. You will want more support from the 22nd


onwards so talk to close partners. Call my Pisces line to hear more.
