Bring summer into your home
By Gabrielle Fagan
IT is time to cast off those dark, heavy colours and fur nishings and welcome the sunshine in. After all, most people have
winter and summer wardrobes of clothes and your rooms should have the same choice. Each season has its own
mood, and summer has a more relaxed feel as we break routines with spontaneous outdoor entertaining and holidays. Rooms should be freshly
dressed and more simply deco rated, making them easier to look after and live in. If you do this successfully they will also appear more spa
cious and become cool, tranquil sanctuaries away from the heat and glare outside. Instead of seeing this as a
chore, look on i t as a great opportunity to revitalise your ■interior and an easy way to have a late spring clean. Whip down curtains, remove
furniture loose covers and bed spreads and get them cleaned.

then store them away until the autumn. Once everything is stripped
away, you can literally look at rooms anew. Light will flood in through windows and you might decide to banish the chore of hanging and cleaning curtains by investing in fash ionable wooden shutters. Alternatively, opt for semi
sheer linen or crisp cotton cur tains and blinds, and new loose covers or throws in white, deckchair stripes, or ice-cream pastels. Dress a bed with fresh white
sheets, a pure white bedspread, and hang a mosquito net or filmy gauze drapes and you will create a tropical boudoir in an instant. This is also a heaven-sent
chance to rid yourself of interi or blots on your landscape. If you have always hated that car pet, throw it away and use a natural covering like sea-grass matting or coir. Another option is to polish or
paint floorboards (a final coat of varnish ensures a durable fin ish for the latter choice). Scat ter coloured rugs in wool or cot ton. If that heirloom sideboard or
dresser is too sombre and domi nating, either strip it or paint it white for a Swedish look. Treasures collected from
country walks or on beach combing expeditions - pebbles and shells displayed in bowls or collections of holiday photo graphs arranged on shelves - will evoke memories and bring home the pleasures of summer. Here are some tipss: • PAINT - Choose a colour
template for summer if you want to redecorate rather than simply refresh your interior.
BRIGHTER colours give any room a more summery feel (S)
Decide whether you like the Mediterranean look, with ter racottas and bright blues (per haps on a feature wall), or soft ice-cream shades, or classic pure white. O FABRICS - Crisp linens
or heavy-duty cottons in soft neutrals or florals will filter sunlight but not crowd a win dow. Alternatively, capture a coastal feel with blue and white striped fabrics. • FURNITURE -White is
the classic colour for summer, but has gained year-round pop ularity. Furniture painted or upholstered in white looks luxu rious and does not look bulky in small spaces. Protect sofas and chairs from small, sticky fingers by using cotton throws. And woven rattan-style fur
niture need not be confined to conservatories, it could give a holiday home feel to a lounge.

Farmer’s royal win
m sSa
A FARMER from the For est of Rowland is celebrat ing after receiving a Royal recognition for his on-going committment to his rural business. Mr Ron Spence, of
Burholme Farm, has been awarded with the National Enterprise Award by the Duchy of Lancaster, after transforming his farm in order to secure his family’s future. The Lancashire farmer, who’s property is one of the oldest owned by the Duchy and dates back to the 14th Century, has been farming cattle and sheep for more than 40 years. • However, due to the long term decline in UK agricul ture, coupled with the out break of Foot and Mouth, Mr Spence and his family were forced to make changes to the way they worked in order to make a living. Located next to the
River Hoddle, the family, who were originally dairy farmers, incorporated a new livestock enterprise, which was developed alongside a range of home-supplied prime beef and lamb. With support from the
Duchy of Lancaster and Lancashire Rural Futures, the farm was also placed under a new environmental management regime and a highly successful livery business was established by Rod’s wife Sue. “We are extremely proud
to have won this award,” said Rod. “All the hard work we

Ball to celebrate school’s specialist arts status award
A BALL to celebrate Bowland High School being granted specialist school status in perform ing arts raised almost £3,000 towards start-up equipment. Around 100 guests
attended the All that Glit- ters Ball held at The Stirk House Hotel in Gisburn on Friday enjoying classical guitar music on arrival played by Nick Mackey, a school governor. During the meal, guests
listened to solo and duet performances from pupils Sarah Whitehead and Laura Cherry before dancing the night away to “Oh what a night” disco provided by ex pupils Robert Bleazard and Adam Thornber. Another ex-pupil, Sam
Birtwell, acted as the evening’s official photogra pher, while, keeping the “in the school family” theme, parent Ian Lloyd acted as the auctioneer. The £2,800, raised at the
ball organised by Bowland High School PTFA, will go towards equipping the school’s newly-built sports
hall and performing arts stu dio complex. Although the evening was
enjoyed by everyone who attended, disaster struck at the end of the night when the school’s digital camera, containing all the photo graphs of the ball, was mis placed. Jill Lightfoot, secretary of
Bowland High School PTFA, said: “Although the camera can be replaced, the photographs cannot, so if anyone knows the where abouts of the camera, please could they be so kind to return i t to the school, or even just copy the photos on to a disc and post the disc to the school.” Picture shows- eight
