The last thing you want is to get involved in an argument vtnth a friend. You're likely to run a mile if any of them try to force you to take their side against another. It's so easy to arouse your sympathy and it’s hard to tell who is in the right anyway. Although it's an uncomfortable week, you can't completely avoid talking about difficult Issues and it will only get trickier the longer you sit on the fence.

Your social life gets a big boost this week and everyone is happy to have you around. It’s because you've chilled out and shown how easy you are to get along with, as well as able to mix and mingle with just about anybody at the drop of a hat The invitations flow in, and you can pick and choose which ones to accept but if you want to keep everybody happy, you'll turn down as few as possible.

here's no harm in being generous - but are you sure you can afford it? Although you feel good when you make people happy, you don't necessarily have to spend your hard earned cash giving hand-outs to others. Although it's appreciated, no-one expects it As the days pass you must start reining In your spending or you could find yourself running into the red and counting the cost

Tact and discretion are needed now. You should stop to think before you speak and you should understand that when people say they want you to be totally honest with them that it is actually the very last thing they want There is no need to be economical with the truth but you should recognise the sensitivities of your listeners and not rush in where angels fear to tread. Later this week you get news that will make you think again about a recent dedsion.

You feel a strong sense of duty and responsibility towards your loved ones and you want to keep your promises and commitments. Sincerity and self respect are very important to you. You can take relationships a little too seriously at times. Don't be afraid to enjoy the company of others, instead of worrying about what you should be doing for them or what people might be thintdng about you.

As soon as you come under pressure, you explode. People around you can't quite understand why you’re letting things get to you so much. It's all to do with feeling a lack of control. You’re more than capable of dealing with what's going on around you, but you'd make your life much easier if you agreed to compromise once in a while. A little patience would come in handy as well.

You’re full of bright Ideas, but you don't need to act on all of them immediately. Being bored vrith your image or appearance tempts you into making some rather drastic changes. Whether it's dying your hair bright green or wearing an extraordinary outfit that's totally outrageous, you tend to go a little over the top. Being original is all well and good; just try not to be loo scary.

IT was “posh frock time” again for high-flying Ribble "Valley business woman Helen Colley when she won the Lancashire Young Director of the Year Award. Helen, who founded and runs Clitheroe-
based pudding company Farmhouse Fare, was one of three category finalists anx iously awaiting the announcement a t Institute of Directors’ “Director of the Year Awards 2006”. More than 650 guests from across the
North West’s business community gath ered a t the City of Manchester Stadium for the glamourous event, hosted by broadcaster Fiona Bruce. And it was Helen’s name that was pulled
from the sealed envelope, putting her among 13 winners on the night, chosen from 33 finalists by an expert judging panel. Despite having no formal business train
ing, Helen, who was recently invited to become vice-president of the East Lan cashire Chamber of Commerce, has built her premium puddings and desserts bui- ness into one of the region’s best-known brands. It now supplies national supermarket
chains and employs more than 70 people at the company’s base on the Salthill Industrial Estate. In recent years Farmhouse Fare has
won a succession of awards, initially for its products, then for its business success and, most recently, in recognition of Helen’s personal prowess in the boardroom. Regular readers will be very familiar
with the story of how she started running an outside catering business from her par ents’ farmhouse kitchen in Gisbum, quick ly gaining a reputation for quality and professionalism. Supplying her Grandma’s recipe sticky

like the characters of the ’70s hit show, Tom, originally from Grindleton, and Bar bara, from Clitheroe, first met at Ribbles- dale Modem School. Romance blossomed after their paths
crossed again at a local dance and from that point on they never looked back. With Bar bara then working as a bus conductor, Tom

explained: “We had to do our courting on the buses. If she was going to Manchester, I would go along with her.” Tom, who worked on local farms until the
age of 25, went to work as a driver with the Milk Marketing Board (MMB), originally collecting milk in chums from farms all over the Ribble Valley. At that time Tom would have been a familiar face to many Ribble Valley villagers, and when the MMB con verted to tankers, Tom was the driver who took out the first milk tanker in the Clitheroe area. After being promoted to a managerial
position, Tom relocated the family after taking over the Kendal depot. They stayed in Kendal until Tom’s retirement, after which they settled in Morecambe. Both keen on motoring, the couple still
enjoy regular trips over to the Ribble Valley visiting family and old friends. The couple, who had two children
Thomas and Marlene, also have four grand children, Robert, Laura, Jason and Zoe, and three great-grandchildren, Isobel, Charlie and Hollie. They will enjoy a meal with family and
friends at the Copy Nook in Bolton-by- Bowland to celebrate their anniversary.
