Having a good lime can be seriously hard work. There's always something you have lo do first, before you can relax. You’ll find it hard to be spontaneous over the next few days, every last thing you do needs careful planning. Remember, you don’t need a reason to relax, you desen/e time out as much as the next person. Feeling guilty about taking a break Isn't going to change anything.

You find it really easy to get along with people this week. Somehow, you know just the right thing to do and say.

Your willingness to listen drawrs
others to your side and they’re ready to lend a hand if you need one.

You’re not feeling very posiUve this week, partly because you find it hard lo get a grip on precisely what’s going on. Feeling that somehow you’re missing all the fun because you’re drowning in responsibilities doesn’t help. Sometimes, you just have to knuckle down and get on with things. Don’t be too hard on yourself, let others do their fair share.
Remember, this is just temporary and things will soon lighten up.

Your head’s in the clouds all week. You tend to see the best in everyone - most of the time that means that you’re ftjll of positive energy - but it also lays you open to being taken for a very long ride by the unscrupulous. If you find it too hard to pull those rose tinted glasses off the end of your nose, at
least ask someone you trust for their opinion before making any major decisions.

Trying to keep everyone sweet, makes it a little difficult to stand up for yourself. People just don’t seem to want to cooperate. You need to make sure that you’re not fixated on Just one way of doing things. Looking at what’s happening from a different angle and searching for new answers will help you find a new way forward. It doesn't have to be your choice or theirs, there could be a third option.

reflect on the commitment and ded ication of volunteers, who have worked extremely hard over the years.” Mr Cheeseman went on to pay
tribute to the “fantastic” support from Whalley villagers, who are ral- l3dng to ensure the week is a huge success and one that people will remember for years. “Since plans to mark the anniver
sary were first discussed people have been really supportive,” he added. “They have been digging out old photographs and sharing
memories, which can be included in the exhibition.” The church will be open to the public to see the exhibi tions and to share in the event on Saturday, August 26th, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, August 27th from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Monday August 28th from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m!

A KNOCK at a rather larg er than life Ribble Valley front door revealed TV pre senter Simon Davis, com
plete with overnight bag! The frontman for BBC4
series “Living with Mod ernism” travelled down the Valley’s own “yellow brick road” to spend the weekend at the Old Zoo, Brockhall Village, (pictured) putting one of the North West’s leading contem porary homes under the spot light. Gerald and Linda Hitman’s
innovatively designed home which now occupies the site of the former petting zoo a t Brockhall Hospital,
is
acknowledged as being an architectural masterpiece which, when built in 1999, was far ahead of its time.
iiBM Prior to its construction, the
owners commissioned the Royal In s titu te of British Architects to run a competi tion for the design of the house. There were 121 entries. Iranian sisters Homa and Sima Farjar- di won and their plans were subsequently included in an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It was one of 28 representing
the best of contemporary domestic architecture world wide. Following the completion of their home, the Hitmans began work on their garden which quickly expanded to cover 15-plus acres. Occasion ally opened to the public for private tours, the planting, design and sculpture collection has been applauded by leading horticulturalists, writers and art critics. The successful television programme is now in its second series and is eventually to go out on BBC2. The charismatic presenter highlights the design characteristics of the house and their effects on the life of the family during a 30 minute programme. An informal din ner party is incorporated and, on Saturday, the Old Zoo was home to invited guests who included Brockhall Village res idents David and Allison Fish

er. The filming coincided with the opening of their new ven ture, Chapels Spa, which has become the second “live/work” unit in the village after the hosts’ own. Between the Avenue Hotel, the Old Zoo gar den and the company office, 32 people are now employed. The Hitman family is passionate in its desire to create a range of homes within the village with an office building serviced by a communal “street”. The format is immensely
successful in other parts of Europe, such as Germany, and is growing in popularity as integrated working and living becomes a real environmental option for those wishing to work and grow their business from home. Screening details for the pro
gramme will be announced in the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times.
