A kidderminster Hero As we look forward to the New Year and what the future has to bring, it is important to reflect on the past. This includes the individuals whose actions in the past have helped shape our present. January the 7th will mark the 102 anniversary of when Indian Army Officer, Eustace Jotham, Kidderminster’s own hero, sacrificed his own life to save another during the First World War. This courageous act earned him the Victoria Cross; the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy.
Jotham was born in Kidderminster on the 28th November 1883. In 1901, aged 18, Jotham joined the Royal Military College and 2 years later went on tour in India with the Prince of Wales Regiment. In 1905, he transferred to the Indian Army and was promoted to Captain of the 51st Sikhs in 1912.
6
A kidderminster Hero On January the 7th 1915, Jotham was commanding a dozen men of the North Waziristan Militia, when 1500 Khostwal tribesmen surrounded them in a steep valley. After giving the order to retire, instead of escaping, Jotham bravely stayed behind in order to try and heroically rescue a fellow soldier who had lost his horse.
Jotham was buried at the Miranshah Cemetery in North Warziristan. However you can see a memorial paving stone at Saint Mary’s and All Saints Church in Kidderminster which was unveiled on the 100th anniversary of his death. His Victorian Cross is held at Bromsgrove School.
7
NO SEX PLEASE WE’RE BRITISH 1971 saw the first performance of this riotous, comic farce that went on to notch up a staggering and successful sixteen year run in the West End ! Assistant bank manager Peter and his new bride Frances are looking forward to a calm, happy start to their married life together. However, due to an unfortunate mistake, they find themselves inundated with illicit material from the “Scandinavian Import Company”. Senior bank officials, Peter’s snobbish mother, and a prim, respectable bank cashier become inextricably entangled in the hilarious and manic events that follow.

An inside look at: Hidden amongst the historic Winterbourne suburban villa lays the beautiful botanical gardens, which has been awed by numerous visitors through out the years. It is seen as one of the best surviving examples of an Edwardian Arts and Crafts suburban villa garden in Birmingham. The garden was lovingly created by the homeowners, Margaret and John Nettlefold, using the books of Gertrude Jekyll as guides and inspiration. When the Nettlefolds left in 1919, two subsequent families called Winterbourne home. The latter, John Nicolson, was an avid gardener and built on the existing foundation with further features such as a Japanese bridge and scree garden. When the University took ownership in 1944 the botanical garden was used for study and relaxation by students, and research by the School of Botany. Today the botanical garden is Grade II listed and offers colour and interest throughout the year. The restored walled garden complete with crinklecrankle wall, is a riot of rainbow shades from May
until October. The lawns are fringed with striking colour themed borders, and beyond lies an original sandstone rock garden and a woodland walk through Gunnera leaves and Rhododendron displays. The botanical garden contains plants from around the globe with collections of plants from China, North and South America and the Alpine areas of the world. The garden offers something for all the ages including activity trails for the kids and a new children’s garden opening in 2017. The gardens are not the only attractions located on the sprawling and beautiful Winterbourne property. Within the property is the beloved family home of the Nettlefold family. Visitors to the house today can learn about the Nettlefold’s history and the families that came after them. Interactive exhibits bring the history of the house to life for children, and whilst little is known of how the interior would have looked during the Nettlefold’s tenure, rooms have been sympathetically recreated with beautiful William Morris print wallpapers and period furnishings to evoke the Edwardian era. Entry to the house is included in the tickets for the gardens.

WHEN A LOVED ONE PASSES AWAY
Bereavement usually means losing someone we love through death and also follows on from change and loss. It is a devastating event, turning our world upside down and changing our lives forever. The death of a loved one is probably the worst loss we will ever experience. Grief is the reaction of over-riding intense pain and emotion that follows on from the death of someone who has been close to us. There is no single way to grieve. Everyone is different and each person grieves in

his or her own way, and there is no telling how long it will take. Grief can express itself in many different ways, often with very powerful, frightening and confusing feelings. Because each person within the family grieves in their own particular way and at their own pace, it is important to take one another into consideration. Talk to each other about thoughts and feelings. Although no two people’s experiences will ever be the same, there are some common feelings which you may experience at different times in your grief. As well as a deep sadness, you may feel anger, fear, guilt, anxiety, loneliness, despair, preoocupation with the loved one that has died, denial, restless over-activity or apathy. All these feelings are natural reactions, but the intensity may leave you feeling that you are not managing everyday life in the way you would like to. Most bereaved people suffer from depression at some stage in their grief. The main thing to remember is that this is not a

permanent state. It will pass when its purpose has been achieved. Although some people may need professional help if it deepens and persists. Accept that it isn’t unusual not to feel your ‘normal’ self. Be gentle with yourself for grief is an exhausting thing. Some return to routine can help as long as you try to balance this with time to reflect on what has happened to you. Try sticking to a regular routine of eating, sleeping, exercise and relaxation. Look after yourself. Your self-esteem may have taken a real knock. Acknowledge yourself each time you achieve something, even if it is getting up in the morning or staying in bed to give yourself a rest. We can be very good at noticing all our mistakes and ignoring our good points, especially when we are feeling down. Remembering happy times with the person who has died can be painful but nontheless healing. Looking at photographs, making a memory book and keeping meaningful mementoes may help. Take things slowly. You might want to delay making big changes such as moving house,
starting a new relationship or changing job. You have already suffered a huge loss and need to adjust to that first. Usually it helps to seek support from several sources. No one can grieve for you. You have to find your own path through your grief, but you do not have to walk the road alone. On these pages are funeral services available to you in the local community.

December was a great month as the knocked out holders of the Buildbase FA cup. Quick-fire first half goals were enough to send Harriers into the Buildbase FA Trophy Second Round after a 2-1 win over York City. Harriers were very much in charge in the first half and the two goals were sound reward for their control.
