Welcome to the September edition of All About ‘West of the Hills’.

With the schools starting again and most of the holiday season behind us, life will slowly go back to normal again.

My children will start in year 1 and 3, it feels like they are growing up fast. Although I will miss the relaxing times of summer, it will make my worklife easier again.

When I think of vineyards I normally think of sun-drenched France, or perhaps rows of vines stretching into the distance in the Napa Valley of California. In fact just a couple of miles from where I’m sitting is a vineyard, tucked away in Coddington. Ann and Denis Savage planted the vines themselves more than two decades ago, today they run their own winery, producing quality wine each year. The picture on the front of this month’s magazine was taken during a break in the showers a couple of weeks ago, as the grapes ripen, ready to be harvested in October. They welcome visitors, and you can find out more on Page 16. In fact as the shadows begin to lengthen, and the seasons change, there’s no end of places to visit and things to do in September. Keep reading and you’ll find there’s every reason to get out and enjoy our beautiful part of the world.

To September sunshine!

Herefordshire Tucked away in our villages and along our country lanes are all sorts of talented people. The beauty of our local landscape has long attracted artists, and this September Herefordshire Art Week opens the doors of some of the best. A locally developed art trail takes in a number of galleries, workshops, people’s homes and even open woodland, which you’re welcome to visit, watch people at work and in some cases even try creating some art yourself.

Here’s a round up of a few:

14 Jenny Pearce, Willow Baskets

27 Caro Sweet, Sculptor Sometimes Caro likes to think big. Like the time she created a half ton sculpture more than 8 feet high.

Today Indiana Visionary stands in a sculpture park in the United States, where Caro travelled with her husband Philip to take on the ambitious project. ‘It was such a huge piece to cast’ she says, ‘I found a space in a foundry, with an American crew I made a huge sand mould to cast the first piece, before casting the main part’.

Not everything Caro makes is quite so large. As well as larger, abstract works for outdoor sites she also concentrates on portrait sculpture and smaller figurative pieces. Her skills of casting in bronze and iron were learnt in London and Ironbridge. Creating art can be tough work and she regularly comes together with what she calls her ‘cast iron family’, a group of artists who work together to cast pieces.

During Herefordshire Art Week she can’t offer the chance to cast in iron, but she will be running workshops where you can carve and cast a mould using clay and plaster, a fun and exciting experience where you can create your own work of art.

Workshops run on 12th and 18th September from 2-4.30pm, at Caro’s studio in Bransford. Please confirm details by calling 07970 505733. www.carosweet.com

Jenny Pearce works with 13 different kinds of willow to weave patterns based on Celtic and English patterns that in some cases date back thousands of years. She grows some of the raw materials herself and prefers using unstripped willow for the natural texture and variety of colours the bark provides. Not everything is traditional though, and some of her basketwork is decidedly contemporary.

Throughout Herefordshire Art Week she’ll be welcoming people to her home in Canon Frome from where she works. ‘People ask me hundreds of questions! Typically I’m asked ‘Is it hard on the hands?’ (yes) or ‘How long does it take to weave a basket?’ I answer ‘Its taken me fifteen years so far!’ ‘Its a traditional craft with ancient roots, basket weaving pre-dates pottery and there are very few new weaves. I saw an ancient piece of work dug up in Egypt and saw their work was the same as what I create. Its very mathematical, the people who worked it out originally must have had very good brains’.

14 Sarah Walker, Lampshades

During Herefordshire Art Week Jenny will be joined at home by Sarah Walker, who creates contemporary lampshades using traditional craft skills. Visitors are welcome from 11am until 5pm each day during Herefordshire Art Week at Vicarage Cottage in Canon Frome. More details are available by calling 01531 670574 or looking at www.jennypearce.co.uk and www.artshades.co.uk

The 'Local Art Trail' has been put together for Herefordshire Art week and aims to encourage local people to visit the East End of the trail (our area is right at the end of the Herefordshire Art Map) and make the venues easily accessible to locals, giving them an easy-to-plan day or weekend out and about.

This year Herefordshire Art crosses the border into Worcestershire with 3 venues, a potter, an artist and a sculptor.

Eating for Increased Vitality Sometimes, the foods that we eat can affect the chemicals that are present in our brain. These chemicals can, in turn, have an effect on the way we think, feel and behave says our resident health expert Allison Maxwell from Colwall.

The Glycaemic Index (GI) is a numerical system that tells you how fast a particular food causes a rise in your blood sugar levels. A food with a high GI will produce a sudden rush in blood sugar, while a food with a low GI will keep your blood sugar levels more stable. This is not a ‘fad way of eating or diet’ it is a scientific fact! However, it is important to stress that people with diabetes or other medical conditions should consult their GP before following any GI eating regime.

Eating low GI foods will leave you feeling fuller for longer, and will help you to avoid snacking in between meals. Foods that have a low GI include apples, oranges, pears, porridge, beans, peas, pulses, lentils, bran cereals and peanuts.

However, as well as eating low GI foods, sometimes it is necessary to eat high GI foods.

For example, after exercising your muscles need to restore their sugar levels quickly, as most of their energy will have been used up. This is when eating a food with a higher GI value, such as a banana, can be beneficial.

A Healthy Balanced Diet As well as considering low and high GI values in your diet, it is also important to ensure that your diet is balanced and contains foods from all five of the main food groups. These are carbohydrates, proteins, fruit and vegetables, fats and sugars and dairy products.

Carbohydrates include starchy foods, such as bread, rice,

14

potatoes, and pasta. Sources of protein include fish, meat, eggs, nuts and beans.

Dairy products, such as cheese, milk and yoghurt are good sources of calcium and are important for strong bones and teeth.

Fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals, which are essential nutrients that your body needs in order to work properly. You should eat at least five portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables a day. Fats and sugars contain more energy than any other food group and should make up the smallest part of your diet. Fats are divided into two groups - saturated and unsaturated. Eating a small amount of unsaturated fat will help to keep your immune system healthy and can reduce cholesterol levels.

Foods that are high in sugar, such as chocolate, cakes, biscuits and fizzy drinks, give your body an instant energy rush when you eat them.

However after the initial rush your sugar levels will drop. As your sugar levels drop, so will your energy levels. As a result, you may find it more difficult to concentrate, or you may feel irritable, tired, and lethargic. As sugary foods are bad for your teeth and high in calories, you should eat them sparingly, as a special treat!

Allison Maxwell has an MSc in Public Health Nutrition, a BSc in Nutrition & Food Science and 20 years experience in the field of food and nutrition. If you need advice ring 07771694490 for Private Nutritional Consultations.

All About... ...Coddington Vineyard Ann and Denis Savage started Coddington Vineyard in 1985.

Tell us about how you started

The reason we moved here was that it’s beautiful!

Initially we planted two acres of vines and carried out most of the work ourselves.

I (Ann) attended a course on winemaking at a College in Sussex. For the first few years we sent the grapes away to be turned into wine, but in the mid-1990s we produced our first wine in-house, thanks to the help of a German winemaker who came and spent time helping us here at the Vineyard. It was finally a case of putting it all into practice.

How dependent is the crop on the weather?

Very dependent. It looks promising this year which is good because the last three years were smaller harvests. The vines flower during the first part of July, and the wet weather of previous summers meant the fruit was affected. As a result our final production varies from a few hundred litres one summer, to as much as 6,000 litres another year, although thankfully the quality of the wine remains high, whatever the size of the harvest.

Tell us how the wine is made.

The grapes are picked in the morning and

after the stems are removed they’re crushed and pressed the same day. The juice is put into a vat and yeast is added.

Fermentation takes up to a fortnight and there’s further filtering and stabilisation before bottling after around three months. The wine should then be kept in a cellar for some weeks before its ready to be drunk.

W ho buys it?

Many people pay us a visit to buy the wine

directly, but we also supply hotels and restaurants in the area, and some even makes its way to London. When we started it was a battle to persuade people what they were missing, but these days people are finally appreciating English wine.

Is this a good area for winemaking?

Soils are important and affects the kind of wine you produce. The vines don’t like too much clay as this can retain water around the roots. We have a mix of clay and loam, our vineyard faces south making the most of the sun. There was another vineyard in the area at Bosbury, but this closed around the time we started in the 1980s. We only produce white wine and grow three varieties of grape.

Coddington Vineyard is open every Thursday until Sunday from 2 until 5pm, until December 23. If you’d like more information, or to arrange a visit at a different time, please call 01531 640668 or look at the website www.coddingtonvineyard.com

Holistic Therapy

Interview with Emma Mary Gathergood, Holistic Therapist So what is Holistic Therapy?

Holistic Therapy works to integrate and restore balance to mind, body, spirit and emotions. It accepts the latest research indicating the close relationship with all four parts, and how problems in one area are linked to less obvious issues in all other areas. It includes techniques from a wide range of disciplines including Life Coaching, Gestalt Therapy, Body-Mind Awareness, Mindfulness, Psychosynthesis, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), NLP and Solution Focused Therapy. If you are feeling down, you often identify with the unhealthy part of yourself, mistakenly thinking that is who you are. Holistic Therapy can help you to access the strong and healthy parts of yourself. It then teaches new coping strategies, thinking habits, ideas and most importantly a new awareness of who you REALLY are.

What do you mean by who you REALLY are?

As human beings we have many different aspects to ourselves. We each have a “Mask self”, the face we like to present to the world, where we try to appear in a positive light. Then we have our “Shadow self”, the

face we hide from the world, full of all our worst traits. Many people think that is all they are. However, looked at holistically, we all have an inner face of our “True Self”, our innermost core, who we REALLY are.

The more we can get to know this aspect of our self, and choose to express this in the world, the more chance we have of creating what we REALLY want in our life.

So what do you mean by creating what we want?

How do we do that?

Our thoughts, feelings, dreams, ambitions and fears all create an energy field around ourselves. This acts as a magnet, drawing situations to us as like attracts like. So if we spend a lot of time worrying or being negative or critical, we are more likely to draw the very thing we don’t want to us. Sometimes, even when we are thinking positively, we are being influenced by our underlying core beliefs, and past negative experiences. By working to understand and then release some of these beliefs and experiences, we can more consciously start to draw to ourselves situations we REALLY want.

Green Fingers Arrival of Autumn

Autumn is here and with it comes all of nature’s glories.

This is a time of year to celebrate nature’s ability to provide us with endless foods to store for the coming months.

There are many ways to do this and don’t forget you can freeze, bottle or simply store all that fruit and veg you’ve been busy tending all summer.

With the government’s cut backs we will need every single bean!

A great celebration of nature’s harvest can be seen at the Malvern Autumn Show which takes place at the end of the month (25th &26th September). As well as the RHS flower show there are many other highlights, including giant vegetables,

Special request: Colwall Orchard Group appeal for loans for the Village Garden

The Colwall Village Garden needs your help to create a community orchard, allotments and children’s play area for the village. The orchard will be a wonderful open space for everyone to use and an old apple packing shed will be refurbished for community use, with solar panels on the roof.

We have a very robust business plan, our preferred site is available and we have lots of orchard trees ready to plant.

We have resolved to set up a charitable company limited by guarantee to progress the project. We have £9.5k in grant aid already; we are confident we can secure £50k to set the site up and have a list of other potential funders to approach.

But, none of this money can be used to purchase land, so we need £65k to get the project off the ground.

Can you make a donation, or loan us some money, to help us bring this idea to fruition? We already have pledges of loans for nearly half the money we need - can you help us to raise the rest? Donations or loans of any amount would be very gratefully received. We are still working up terms for the loans, but they will be legally secured against the purchase of the land and paid back from planned income.

We know this is not the best time to ask for money. But, if any of you have cash sitting in a savings account, earning a pitiful rate of interest, why not loan some of it to this project.

This will not only pay back your money but create something of lasting value for the village.

If you would like to offer money and discuss any aspect of this project, please contact the Orchard Group through either Helen Stace or Tim Dixon on 01684 540569. You can view all the plans on our web site www.colwallorchardgroup.org.
