In the production of our Tide Collection magazines 16m2 of native woodland is created every month. The Carbon Capture Scheme helps us mitigate our carbon emissions by planting trees right here in the UK. We’ve helped fund the planting of 250,000 already! Each tree planted will grow into a vital carbon store, helping us reduce our environmental impact. The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. Working with Woodland trust helps us to protect the precious wildlife habitat that remains and plant the trees needed to create new homes for creatures big and small. SAXMUNDHAM NEWS SOUTHWOLD ORGAN WOODBRIDGE TALK 3 ALDEBURGH TIMES BOOK REVIEW 10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World - Elif Shafak Turkish writer Elif Shafak has spoken out for women’s rights and freedom of speech as well as being well known as an award-winning novelist. Her latest novel (her seventeenth) was shortlisted for the 2019 Booker Prize and was her second novel to be shortlisted for the RSL Ondaatje Prize. 10 Minutes 38 Seconds In This Strange World starts with the main charac- ter, Tequila Leila, a murdered prostitute, waiting for her body to be found. For more than ten minutes after her heart has ceased to beat, she recalls details from her life, the history that has led her to this point. In particular, she remembers her five best friends; how she met them, what they meant to her in life. Leila has long since been disowned by her family, and according to the law, her body must therefore be consigned to an anonymous grave in the Cem- etery of the Companionless. Her five great friends, those she counts as her real family make a desperate attempt to make sure she is not so carelessly laid to rest. Shafak has created a vivid and beautiful novel, a story of how some cannot move beyond the expectations of society, and how others will risk anything to stand by those they love.

It is precisely these kinds of weather conditions that tend to give rise at this time of year to more people slipping, tripping or falling when out and about, often in a public place or even in the workplace. These types of accident also, unfortunately, often result in people sustaining more serious injuries, such as broken bones and spinal and head injuries, that, in the worst cases, can prove fatal. However, bringing a claim for personal injury as a result of a slip, trip or fall can be tricky. Pinpointing the correct person to bring a claim against can be difficult, if, for example, there are a number of poten- tial owners of the accident site. Gathering the evidence needed to prove such a claim against whoever is responsible can then some- times seem to be a mammoth task. Depending upon where you fall - on publicly or privately owned land - also makes a difference to the chances of successfully bringing a claim for compensation for personal injury and loss because the courts apply different tests to determine whether responsibility can be attached. For example, while you may not be able to claim compensation if you tripped or slipped on a public highway or pavement, if the same accident occurred on privately owned land, you may be more suc- cessful. So, what should you do, if you have an accident as a result of a slip, warning signs), if possible, get pictures of them and record the trip or fall either out and about or at work? dates on which the remedial steps were taken.
